NEW YORK CITY — Move over, Roswell — New York City had its very own UFO crash landing.
At least that’s according to one city dweller’s account to the National UFO Reporting Center of a not-so-close encounter with two pulsing objects in the sky last August.
Here is how the 25-minute-long experience ended, presented without edits: “After the pulsing moving object was no more, another object appeared to shoot down from the sky like a commet, but larger.

“It crashed landed somewhere in that direction.”
What direction that is, as well as other crucial details that would help humanity recover a potential alien ship, is a bit unclear.

The account is one of 32 UFO sightings reported in New York City in the year since the last time Patch honored World UFO Day — a July 2 holiday which commemorates the supposed Roswell, New Mexico, spaceship crash.
Before we dive into the city’s sightings of objects shaped like cigars, cylinders, orbs, triangles and (classic) disks, let’s note that UFOs have garnered a bit more legitimacy in recent years than their past reputation tainted by the tinfoil hat brigade.
They even have a slick new name — UAPs, for unidentified aerial phenomena — used by the U.S. government, which is increasingly open about its investigations into the mysterious lights, objects and, maybe, crafts.
One whistleblower, who is a former intelligence official, recently told Congress that he has information about covert programs that have retrieved craft of non-human origin, The Debrief reported.
The truth may well be out there, although one account from The Bronx indicates that not everyone is paying attention.
Somehow, New Yorkers en masse missed the hour-and-a-half display that a cross-shaped object gave Oct. 10.
Here’s what the writer saw, presented again without edits:
“The object emitted beams, The object changed color, Entities were seen, Missing time was experienced, Animals reacted to the event.”
And there’s more — it looked like a billion, beautiful rainbow stars “converging into rainbow colored crucifixion cross.”
“When these billions of rainbow colored converge to make a rainbow colored cross that dazzled to a bright light, I heard what sounded like a loud trumpet blaring,” they wrote. A voice announcing that he was someone named Gabriel, said our new Lord and sire is located on East 139th between Brook and saints Ann’s av here in Mott Haven. It was scary yet calming all at the same time.”
So, perhaps, UFOs are the Archangel Gabriel.
Another witness to two strange lights near JFK airport Oct. 22 felt compelled to add this disclaimer: “I don’t have a mental illness, I don’t take medication or recreational drugs.”
The witness likewise evoked the divine after detailing the mysterious changing lights.
“I’m unsure if it’s an object, an entity, technology beyond our comprehension, energy, or what religion calls ‘god,'” they wrote.
The sighting wasn’t the only mysterious flying object reported in the sky near a New York City airport.
A witness wrote Dec. 22 they saw lights hovering suspended in the sky near LaGuardia at least three to four times a week.
“P.S. The UFO made no sound!” they wrote.
Many accounts raise a very important question: how in a city of nearly 9 million people do some UFO sightings go unnoticed.

That’s the case with an Aug. 23 sighting of a silent “chevron/boomerange” craft moving across Manhattan, as reported by a witness in Central Park.
The craft was very large, totally quiet and moving steadily above the clouds in the sky, they wrote.
“No one else seemed to notice it but there weren’t a lot of other people around when we saw it–there were some people scattered around the field but it wasn’t too crowded,” they wrote. “I would love to know if others in the city noticed it beside us.”
