A couple driving along New York Route 63 between Pavilion and Batavia watched an object with five large, white lights and one small red blinking light, hovering low above the road in front of them, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness database.
The cars around them were either pulling over or swerving - so additional witnesses may be coming forward.
They noted that the object made no noise, and as they looked back a short distance down the road, the object "disappeared without a trace."
Once at home, they noticed an odd smell in the air. A half-hour later, they heard "an odd humming noise unlike an airplane in the sky. We looked up and I saw an aircraft that looked like a square on top of a rectangle though my husband said it reminded him of the shape of an arrowhead sort of but without a point on the end. It was moving sideways. We watched until it disappeared once again." Then at 3 a.m., they "were awoken by the odd humming again. We looked out the windows but saw nothing. However, there was an unfamiliar high pitched noise coming from the corn field behind our house. Lasted about 15 minutes then just stopped."
Pavilion is a town in Genesee County, population 2,467.
The following is the unedited witness testimony from MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If New York MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page.
NY, October 26, 2009 - Object over Route 63 just outside Batavia, NY maintained a stable position over the road, about 30 ft above the road. MUFON Case # 20166.
My husband and I were heading towards Pavilion, NY from Batavia, NY on Route 63 on October 26, 2009. It was very dark out and about 8:15pm when we saw an object with 5 LARGE white lights and 1 SMALL red blinking light hovering low above the road in the distance ahead.
Coming from Batavia we thought it was a radio tower or airplane or something of that nature. As we neared it we noticed it was some type of aircraft. We both were pretty calm at first because neither my husband or I believed in UFO's.
As we drove directly under this object we both became extremely nervous.
I didn't know what to make of what I just saw, my husband couldn't even speak. I know we were not the only ones who saw it because there were several cars in front of us an behind us. The cars in front of us were pulling off to the side of the road to look at it and other cars were swerving in their lane trying to look at the object.
The object would not move. We opened our windows but no noise was present. After we drove a little ways up the road the object disappeared without a trace.
When we arrived home about 7 minutes later, we stepped out of our car and the air smelled different, kind of like ozone or something like that.
Then, a half hour later, my husband stepped out onto the deck for his last cigarette of the evening and looked up at the sky because he heard a noise. He then knocked on the window for my brother and I to come outside. There was an odd humming noise unlike an airplane in the sky. We looked up and I saw an aircraft that looked like a square on top of a rectangle though my husband said it reminded him of the shape of an arrowhead sort of but without a point on the end. It was moving sideways. We watched until it disappeared once again.
Later, about 3am that morning we were awoken by the odd humming again. We looked out the windows but saw nothing. However, there was an unfamiliar high pitched noise coming from the corn field behind our house. Lasted about 15 minutes then just stopped. Did not get much sleep that night because we were already a little shaken by what we had already seen.

Did anyone see two large aircrafts Thursday night in the Elba, Byron or Albion area?
I had noticed two large aircrafts, usually army transport planes fly over from time to time, but these two were different. They both had unusually bright red and white lights and when they turned, they did NOT bank to turn, they just seemed to make a right angle turn. No noise was heard at all.
I stumbled on this web site while looking for a phone number. For the end of the road pizza.10/26/2009 I also saw the object! It was my birthday I will never forget it. I live in pavilion ny and see strange lights often! It's kind of freaky I have tried to get video but it never turns out!
