It started like something out of a sci-fi thriller: a glowing, pill-shaped object hovering over the skies of upstate New York.
Photos captured near the Finger Lakes on Aug. 12 showed a slow-moving orb shrouded in a glowing mist, sparking a surge of UFO speculation in a community’s Facebook group.
Some residents described it as "otherworldly," as others commented, asking what it was.
"They're here," one person joked.
"Truly an amazing thing to witness!" another said.
