On a cold night in Troy, NY, just past midnight on New Year’s Day 2022, I experienced something truly inexplicable. A strange, circular object hung low in the sky, its presence marked by glowing red lights and surrounded by an eerie haze that seemed to pulse softly in the fog. For a full ten minutes, the red fireball moved incredibly slowly, almost as if it were suspended in time, casting a haunting glow against the night.
The atmosphere was thick with a sensation I can only describe as otherworldly. The object’s lights weren’t just steady—they seemed to shimmer and dance with an unsettling life of their own. The combination of the fog, the aura enveloping the object, and the glimmering lights created a scene that was both mesmerizing and disquieting, as if I had stumbled upon a secret suspended between worlds.
This was no ordinary sighting. The feeling of slow, deliberate motion contrasted starkly with the stillness of the night, and the red glow felt almost alive, pressing gently against the surrounding darkness. Watching that glowing orb linger so long in the sky etched an indelible memory of mystery, urging anyone who witnesses such phenomena to question the boundaries of what is known and what lies beyond.
Such moments remind us that the sky holds secrets, often hiding them just beyond our reach in the quiet haze of the night. What was that slow-moving red fireball above Troy? The answer remains as elusive as the fog in which it floated—enticing and unsettled, a haunting glimpse into the unknown.
