Daylight Clear Sighting an Enormous “Saucer” NY State

On Monday, March 19, 2012, I was on the NY State Thruway between exits 20 and 19 at about 11:50AM. The sky was clear blue. There was a high cloud bank in front of me (I know it was high because about 10 minutes later I saw a commercial airliner climbing to cruising altitude near it, the plane was tiny). I was in the right lane, 65mph. Something interfered with my vision momentarily (a flash of light) and I looked higher than the path of the thruway in front of me. In the sky (not close to the ground, filling the sky) was a “flying saucer”. It was metal, not shiny, I don’t remember seeing windows but I wasn’t really looking for them. I was in AWE. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!! It never occurred to me to look around to see if other drivers were seeing it also. All I could do was try to maintain my speed and location in my lane without taking my eyes off it!

At one point, the thruway turned a bit and I lost sight of it briefly, but then saw it again directly ahead, not low to the thruway, just filling the “space” ahead in the sky (very difficult to describe this.) Then it DIPPED at me, yes “at” me, I felt a conscious acknowledgment, very strange. It dipped a little left, then right, then moved a little and then went backward toward the cloud bank. It “dipped” as a plane might to acknowledge people watching it on the ground.

When I got to my destination, the parking spot faced that cloud bank! It was the only cloud bank in the sky and, as I mentioned, a commercial plane was climbing toward it (to cruising altitude). Now, I saw that UFO going toward that cloud bank and this plane was TINY while that UFO was ENORMOUS compared to it.

I did report it that day to NUFORC. Link below. Someone called me that day to question me further. The only thing he got wrong was the duration of this experience. It was not “seconds” it was minutes. Although years ago, it’s as if it happened yesterday! I’ve seen other things I was convinced were “UFOs” but NEVER this close, NEVER this undeniable. Every time I drive that stretch of the Thruway I look for it. I would love to see it again!
