Watkins Glen UFO 2007

Strange lights seen above Watkins Glen International Speedway while camping over the long NASCAR weekend. There were two instances of these orbs passing across the night sky. The footage contained here is the 2nd orb that passed by.

If you witnessed this event and have an explanation, please provide proof as to what was in the sky that night, preferably in a video response on youtube.

It could be a comet, an aircraft, a candle on a balloon, or a "who knows what." The odd thing to remember about this piece is that from our vantage point for both events, the objects appeared in the sky and did not rise from the horizon. Remember - UFO means Unidentified Flying Object.

Please pardon the audio/video delay. I've adjust bit rates on 5 uploads and this is the closest I could get.

Thanks to Craven Laithe music for the use of the song "Saint NinnySick" used in this video. To download the song for free please visit:

Special thanks to JC Productions for the quick edit of the footage:

Recently many have made the claim, to include many people that I am close with, that these are definitively Chinese lanterns. While I cannot confirm nor deny this point, the case is being made very strongly on here as to why they are these lanterns.

If you have proof as to why it could be an extraterrestrial craft of some sort, or one of these whacky "exploding ufo's" please comment and make your case.

Comments can now be posted without approval, video responses will remain dependent on approval. (Updated 3/08)
