NUFORC Sighting 97925

Occurred: 2013-05-22 22:50 Local
Reported: 2013-05-23 10:37 Pacific
Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Goshen, NY, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object

2-3 bright lights suspended a couple hundred feet over the farms.

Heading west on Pumpkin Swamp Road I noticed two bright lights several hundred feet over the farms west of Pulaski Hwy. I have lived here for eight years and know that there are no antennas in the area. The area is composed of flat, open farmland.

As I approached the stop sign I opened my car window to hear if they might have been helicopters. No such luck. The lights appeared to be bigger than a car. Upon closer inspection the objects showed no motion other than spinning. There was vertical or horizontal movement. I kept going home and told my wife who was leaving for work at the time. About fifteen minutes later she calls up and confirms they are still there and indeed are spinning. Furthermore, she spotted a third one further down doing the same thing.

Have been trying to rationalize it but I can't come up with an explanation. Weather conditions were cloudy with lightning in the distance.
