New York Skies (Cheryl Costa)

The Snowboard UFO

Columnist Cheryl Costa shares the 2009 account of a snowboard-shaped UFO that flew over Norwood, NY

The sighting of the UFO occurred on Sept. 14, 2009, at about 10 p.m. in Norwood, NY. Jason and his fiance, Lisa, were outside that evening jumping on an outdoor trampoline with their dog. All of a sudden, the dog left the trampoline and ran to the house. The couple thought nothing of it at the time. As the day wore on, they decided to lie down on the trampoline and stare up at the clear night sky. The two were talked about how beautiful it looked when, suddenly they witnessed an object. “I could feel it. I was tense and she was tense; it was apparent,” Jason said. “We both seemed to be holding our breath.” They noticed that, oddly, there were no noises. Lisa said that the UFO came across the sky just above the trees. She describes it as snowboard shaped, but as if someone took both ends of a snowboard and pushed them together, to make a shorter, wider snowboard.  The UFO was black and contained “weird markings.” The couple said that the markings had a hieroglyph quality and they actually seemed more decorative in shape. They mentioned it was definitely lighter in color than the rest of the UFO. “I can’t even begin to fully explain what this was like,” Lisa said. “it actually looked fake. It was like a bad movie prop floating across the sky.” The couple said that that the object was horizontal to the ground, but the angle of the two ends angled upwards roughly 15 degrees.  It seemed to be moving slowly and disappeared behind the peak of the roof. When it was gone, Lisa remained silent until Jason asked, “You saw that too, right?” After digesting what they had seen for a moment, the couple said that the sound of the crickets and other night time noises returned upon the craft’s departure. They told their fiends the next day. “They all thought we were crazy,” Lisa said.
