A Hudson Valley woman reported a UFO sighting on the Taconic State Parkway near Fishkill, NY, at 8:12 PM on October 5, 2024. The witness, referred to as Brianna, described seeing two large yellow/white lights approximately 125 feet in the sky, which appeared still after initially worrying it was a low-flying plane.
This sighting adds to the region's reputation for unexplained phenomena, often dubbed the 'Area 51 of the East Coast.' The Hudson Valley, particularly Pine Bush, is known for its rich history of UFO sightings and is home to the UFO and Paranormal Museum.
While many speculated the lights could be attributed to Starlink satellites or military aircraft due to the nearby Stewart Air National Guard Base, no confirmed Starlink sightings were reported at that time. The area had previously experienced a notable event on September 9, 2024, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch created buzz across the skies.
As UFO sightings continue to intrigue residents, the Hudson Valley remains a hotspot for such reports, prompting discussions among local communities.
