- I am writing this not because I am a UFO believer but because you might be
- able to help me with my "sigthing" over Ithaca, New York, this Summer.
-
- My girlfriend (she believes in OFUs I am not) and I went to swim in one of the
- reservoires around Ithaca this Summer. (I just found this group, so I will
- try to post this.) After swimming, we were sitting in the dark (around 9:30
- PM) and I saw something flying? jumping? on the sky not too far, about a half
- a mile away over the mountains. It took about 10 jumps and this thing got
- behind a bigger mountain. No noise, just orange light and circle shape on the
- bottom (I did not see the top). I am pretty sure this was not an airplane and
- it did not use air for its support in moving. I studied physics and I know
- how airplanes fly, they need continuous speed and airflow over their wings to
- produce power (pressure difference, Bernoulli law) over the wings. No when
- this thing stopped between jumps I do not think such a power existed to
- support its weight. If it was a helicopter, there should have been
- acceleration and slow down between jumps, now in this case, it was more like a
- frog jumping right forward (not upward and forward) in the air. The most
- suprising thing I've seen in my life. Did you guys see anyhting similar to
- this?
-
- I am not a UFO maniac and I was not on the crave to see one. Actually I had a
- happy life without them. Thanks, Laszlo Boros
