Bright orange 'UFO orbs' appearing over NYC have everyone asking the same question

Bright orange ‘UFO orbs’ were allegedly caught flying over New York City,’ raising concern among residents of the Big Apple over the holiday week.

A video was posted on Friday by a Reddit user with the handle @YogurtclosetFlat5701 on a subreddit called ‘The UFOs Subreddit.’ This subreddit is a place where individuals share and discuss UFO sightings, experiences, news, and investigations.

The local recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport. 

‘We looked up and there were 4 orange orbs in formation in what is suppose to be a no fly zone they then started to disappear,’ the user wrote.

In the video, four unblinking orange orbs are suspended in the air, forming a striking boomerang shape. 

A video was taken from inside the user’s car and another from outside the user’s car.

Describing the video, the user mentioned that the objects in the sky were moving strangely, not staying still, and disappearing one by one. The second-to-last object drifted slightly before vanishing, all while maintaining a specific formation throughout the sighting.

Local Reddit users from the New York City area corroborated the original poster’s sighting. One user, known as @ZoraOctavia, claimed to have been living near the airport for more than ten years and confidently stated the distinction between an airplane and an unidentified flying object.

‘Lived here 14 years with planes flying by all day everyday. They fly so low it feels like you can almost touch them. I know what they look like when they come in to land and take off. I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever,’ the user said.

Other users deemed the occurrence as highly suspicious, and was shocked the government wasn’t taking immediate action.

‘Seeing as that’s a no fly zone, the FAA should be all over that,’ said a user.

‘This is truly not okay. Can we please start demanding the government gives more a fuck about this?’ chimed a third.

Recent reports of strange orbs in the skies above the eastern United States have added another layer of mystery to the ongoing drone sightings across the country. 

A father and son in Georgia experienced an unusual encounter on Thursday evening when they spotted a bright orange ‘UFO orb’ moving across the night sky. 

While taking out the trash, the father noticed the glowing object and pointed it out to his son.

Intrigued, they watched the orb for several minutes before deciding to film it. 

The father then shared the video on the ‘UFO Reddit’ forum, seeking explanations for the mysterious phenomenon.

The 58-second video shows the orange orb gliding through the sky, occasionally moving upwards or downwards. 

As the father followed it, the orb appeared to dim and eventually vanish, leaving him and his son puzzled about its nature.

The father described the initial sighting as a ‘huge’ light in the distance, which seemed to dim as it approached. He speculated that the orb might have been trying to evade him, or it could have simply disappeared behind clouds.

The video has since garnered significant attention on Reddit, with over 2,000 shares and 500 comments from users discussing the unusual sighting.

Just days prior, a perplexing light was captured hovering over New Jersey skies. 

Video footage from near Atlantic City shows a white light blinking before suddenly accelerating away at incredible speeds, leaving observers stunned.

These recent events follow a report from a US military witness who experienced a close encounter with a silent, luminous object while camping in October. 

The witness described the object as hovering 100 yards above, illuminating the area brighter than any full moon.

These sightings, along with others reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.
