It's cloudy out , Right ??

and blinking lights on the bottom Might be reflected from the shore,
correct?

- Mebbee call the local cops & see what they say..

We get greenish-white ovals of varying size-n-speed out here above Nor Cali
skies! They swirl about in circles, and are akin to auld fashioned search
lights which used to announce premieres an such, without those earth-to-heaven
light beams! They usually congregate behind cloud cover, and on occasion three
will blend into one, and separate into multitudes! Since they've been seen
hovering above Gridley's ricefields(outside Beale A.F.B.), this isn't just a
city-centric sky phenom! No red lights underneath, but they're spooky looking
nonetheless! Another HAARP manifestation/manipulation???

It sounds like "The Westchester Wing".

It was often spotted over Westchester and Fairfield counties in the mid
80's and early 90's.

Depending on what you choose to believe, the Westchester Wing was a
group of ultralight planes flying at slow speed in close formation with
a variety of non standard lights intended to give the impression of
being a UFO, or it was a UFO.

Google searches only seem to bring up people who can "Prove" it was a
UFO, but I'm reasonably sure I read an article with an interview of
someone who said he was part of the group.

Already ID'ed as the Goodyear Airship going
south over NY then making the loooong slow right
turn, crossing over NJ, Pa and finally home to it's
home near Akron Ohio later tonight. I'm wondering
why their flying tonight with a snowstorm on the way!
They were also flying *lower* than normal altitude
as the dewpoints from about 3000 feet to surface
are at 7°F, plus the RH is around 25% - 30%.
If they were to fly any higher, where the clouds are
they would quickly ice-up. NOT something you want
to encounter in an Airship, let alone a fixed wing or
rotating wing aircraft. Hope this helps!

Combat Air Patrol is flown over Long Island, and most of the refueling
tracks tthey use are over the north shore and long island sound

if you have a kc-135 tanker with an f16 behind it and another f16 on its
wing or behind it waiting to refuel
the light show will be exactly hat our describing, add sme clouds and their
you go instant UFO

271.00Mhz AM mode
138.425Mhz AM mode

ut then in your scanner if your in NYC area and se what you hear. comms are
short leave your radio on either freq, or even better use two radios.

have fun

Your just payed by the goobermint to say that aren't you!!

Was out at the local airport a few months ago at night and heard a blimp on
the CTAF coming in. Some local yocal called the FBO asking if they knew what
the UFO was flying around. Was heading out to the car to leave and there it
was, coming in to land, looked kind of alien space shipey like I will have
to admit. No sound, hovering, lights on the bottom in a triangle shape
(sound VERY familiar?). I can see how non-aviation, let alone beer drinking
red-necks out on fishing boats could misidentify an airship.

YES ! !

- Have seen them flying from North To South over NYC..
- A formation about 4 times the size of The Full Moon,
A large, coherent, silent moving Circle of lights..
