2010 UFO New York City

UFO Seen in NYC

Every day there are UFO sightings reported all around the world. Most of the time, there are in fact explanations for them. Sometimes they are caused by weather balloons, or simply aircraft from earth that the sun hits at an unusual angle.

The recent UFO sighting in New York City came around the same time UFOs were seen in China, around one of their major airports. There were literally hundreds, if not thousands of people that saw the strange looking object in the skies in NYC. Most of them could not come up with any possible explanation for the unusual looking shape.

However, now teachers at an elementary school in Mount Vernon, New York say that they believe they may know what the UFO really was. The founder of Milestone School in Mt. Vernon, Angela Freeman believes that the UFO sighting was nothing more than 4 dozen helium filled balloons that had accidentally been released by the school.

Could this really be what all those New Yorkers saw? Just simple everyday helium balloons? Some “UFO experts” believe it very well could be.

Jason Rollin from Brooklyn, New York saw the UFO over Manhattan. When asked if it could have been balloons, he said, “Absolutely not! Balloons don’t move faster than airplanes, no matter how strong the wind currents are. Anyone that saw the UFO could easily tell that they were not simply helium balloons floating slowly into the sky.”

So was the UFO really balloons or was it an aircraft from outer space? We probably won’t ever know for sure.

    I think the school is full of hot air. Lol And by the way. If we have all this advanced technology in cameras and zooms and lenses that can see better than the human eye and crystal clear at anything that they zoom in! Then why the hell is it so damn blurry when they zoom all the way into the “ufo’s” I know for a fact that they can use good and better equipment to actually see something from that distance perfectly. And I know also that people have used that equipment and have not either published the footage or pictures for some odd reason. It’s all real fishy to me.

    Have you ever tried filming an airplane at high altitude?

    Plus, there are some extraordinary footages on some of the news sites.

    Yea but I’m pretty some other people that live in NY have a Camera that can do that. People that are at home can have that equipment. Photographers and camera guys should have a lens that is capable of that. I have a Canon 5D Mark II and If I took a picture of that UFO I’d be able to zoom in on it through a computer. And see it. I’m just saying that there are ways to see these things better but it always turns out to be seen with shitty quality.

    This is so convenient – whenever there is a claim of a UFO sighting, there is someone else ready to acknowledge that it was their balloon. So convenient and plausible. It is convenient for the government agencies involved in the coverup, It is the US military/intelligence community that does not want the truth about advanced aliens visiting from outer space to be revealed, since that would undermine US military and economic dominance of the world. This elaborate coverup has been going on for almost 60 years. See http://www.ufocoverup.org for more info

    How many balloons are there being released into the atmosphere and Australia keeps getting told everytime we see something to report its a missle from the US breaking up or fizzlin out in the atmosphere above us!! Hey what are you guys firing missles at?? Has anyone thought to question that? Pull your heads out of the ground and be open to new changes.

    Hahahaha yea because a 60 year government coverup of ufo’s is more plausible then some balloons floating away…like get real here you sad and confused idiot

    With the thousands of top quality cameras in New York city why are there NO close up pictures of these “Balloons”? Or even anyone using binoculars? You would be able to tell in a second that they were balloons with a pair of even cheap binoculars. I mean IF this was a bunch of balloons.

    for your information the government wants people to think there are aliens, and attempts to pretend to cover it up specifically so that u will believe it!! the reason is because they all know that when the rapture of the Christians happens they will need an excuse to cover that up- this is why they are having so many supposed sightings of the UFO’s – when Jesus comes to collect us- how will the world of atheists feel when they are left behind- the devil is working on people’s minds now to confuse them when the rapture occurs!! read your Bible!!!! we will be taken in a twinkling of an eye! why do u think a fake rapture was staged in China?? they know whats gonna happen and they want to fool u?!?!

    This seemed like obvious balloons. Why all the fuss? Actual UFO sightings are plentiful enough that we do not have to chase after something like this. Let’s try to understand some of the much more distinct images of UFOs and not get sidetracked by things like this.

    thanks for clearing it up for us annon33. You sound more cookoo than the teacher. I’ve been waiting for the rapture since 1982. That’s a myth, and so is Jesus…

    Balloons don’t move faster than planes, however, balloons a lot closer to you appear to move faster than planes. If they were the same distance away as a plane, you wouldn’t have been able to see them anyway.

    hey! no need to be rude.. its ok i forgive you and i bless you regardless- it doesnt matter how long uve been waiting- by u giving up and Blaspheming against my God just shows how little faith u have- and u will weep when u are left because he is on his way very soon- a lot sooner than u think- and even if he doesnt come for another 500 years my faith shall not be shaken.. just shows how able you are to commit to something greater than urself.. and you should be very careful about what you say, for when judgment day comes you will regret what u said- repent now while u still can.. and change ur name- its evil and stupid- and only a person who wants to burn for eternity will use that name for themselves!

    This ballon story is getting old. They have said it since Roswell. I am not saying it was a UFO but please, balloons, really?

    is anybody here god? no right ok so you cant speak for everyone when they say they released a dozen balloons somewhere else and they end up over ny fallin from the sky then hovering then flying away ok cause balloons can do that and were not stupid enough to make remote control balloons so keep telling your false folk lores to children who live under water!
