Some Basement Blues (2009) Rob Horner Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2024-12-16 | Just a spontaneous jam recorded in my basement back in Nov 2009. I'm (Rob Horner) playing over a backing track from . . . Ultimate Blues Jam; Vol. 2-- titled "Slow Blues in C" (track 4) -- by Pete Schmidt; et al.
Ball-of-Light UFO: Power-Up Flybye Stunt ??? (4-27-2023) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2023-04-30 | (Star Lake - NY) (Adirondack Park) (My Backyard) (10:05 pm est)I wasn't outside sky watching more than 15 minutes when I said, "C'mon, show me something impressive." Coincidentally, within few seconds from saying that, this Ball-of-Light UFO suddenly appeared. It seemed to be displaying some 'flybye' action. That is, by performing an impressive Power-Up/Expansion-Contraction in size stunt directly above me (presumably for my benefit ?). I also included this object's stunt at .50 speed at the 25 second marker --- so wait for it. Sorry, for any shaky spots -- this happened so quickly.
SUPER WOODLAND ORB and Near Collision (7- 2 -2022) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-07-04 | This ORB put on an impressive exhibition of its aerial movement abilities. Additionally, the was an interesting moment when another darting ORB almost collided into it . . . a near-miss indeed.Video was filmed in my own backyard in Star Lake, NY (Adirondack Park). These ORBS can only be seen (at least by me) with an Infrared video recorder.
UFO (Ball-of-Light) Ridge Rd INCR-DECR in Size Several Times Fades Disappears (6-26-2022) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-06-26 | (Ridge Rd) (Oswegatchie, NY) Just after midnight this Ball-of-Light UFO showed up. At first, it seemed to just appear all-of-a sudden. Then slowly pulsed from larger to smaller in size several times during a 2 minute appearance until it faded and suddenly disappeared.Note: A nasty mosquito was attacking me during the last 30 seconds of this recording, but regardless, that last part came out fair enough.
SIGNALING UFO ??? (5-30-2022) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-06-03 | (Star Lake- NY) (My Backyard) Pretty STRANGE sighting here . . . I don't know what this flashing UFO is, or what it's actually doing -- but it seemingly appears to have been signaling varied light pulses of dim-to-bright. Who knows? This whole event was actually 6 minutes long until the UFO disappeared altogether. However, I have presented a chosen 1 min and 47 sec worth of video with a spliced in piece of later video at the 45 sec mark just to show how the signal-pulse light pattern did change.
ENORMOUS BRIGHT BoL UFO at Ridge Rd (5-24-2022) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-05-26 | This BALL-of-LIGHT (BoL) UFO is a Mega-WOW !!! I recorded this at Ridge Rd, Oswegatchie, NY at 10:30pm. This object is the largest one I've ever seen in person. It's actual color was a yellowish-white, but my Infrared videocam was set on an IR setting that only sees black and white. In any event, observe the spectacular Corona Aura this UFO is emitting. Just after one minute (1:00) you will observe the object begin to gradually shrink in size, then more dramatically so (at 1:30 mark) until it fades out to full disappearance (2:18 mark). Once more, I can not definitively say what this is.
SPEEDY Evasive White ORB (5-18-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-05-24 | I decided to show this Orb displaying both its actual, amazing, darting speed followed immediately a clip slowed way down (1/16). Notice how this Orb moves in the low speed clip. Its spherical form appears to elongate like a slinky toy or worm. Also, these Orbs can only be seen using an Infrared videocam. And they do not appear to like the IR light (at least at first). I have seen many of them make a quick evasive escape over the top of my rooftop -- just as you see here.
Strange Ball-of-Light UFO Pulses Light While Shrinking in Size (5-23-2022) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2022-05-24 | I call this type of UFO a "Ball-of-Light" (BoL) -- as it appears here. What's interesting about this type of object is what it displays, that is, in contrast to a meteor that lasts for a second then fizzes out, this object can be tracked for a minute or more upon spotting it. This particular BoL object displayed various, pulsing degrees of light while shrinking in size to a complete fade out disappearence. I don't know what this is(?).
SPACE TRAFFIC: 4 Ball-of-Light UFO/UAPs Crossing Paths (11-8 -2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-11-14 | (Star Lake, NY)(My Backyard) It was about 20 minutes after twilight here. I was not in my usual viewing lounge chair, but I was standing looking up when I started to notice this UAP activity. I ran inside for my videocam and this what I got. So, sorry if the video is a little shaky here and there. I originally recorded 6 objects criss-crossing (over 5 min of video) but decided to cut it short at #4. Either way, there was some impressive space traffic going on.
UFO Flashes at 12 Second Intervals (10-15-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-10-17 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard)(12:30 am est)In actuality, this UFO capture went on for approx 5 minutes . . . then just ceased. If you are interested, see the FULL VIDEO in the link provided in the comments.
UFO . . . Egg-Shaped and Flashing (10-12-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-10-14 | (Star Lake, NY)(My Backyard)(11:45 pm est)
UFO 2nd sighting UFO Ducks into Tree Line (10-1-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-10-02 | (Clifton-Fine School Playfield) (Star Lake, NY) (8:00 pm est)SECOND SIGHTING OF THE NIGHT (within 15 minutes of the 1st sighting)This is the 2nd Sighting mentioned in the comments of the 1st Sighting video. At first I thought this was the star "Capella" (of Auriga constellation) glowing brightly on the eastern horizon just above the tree line. But then I noticed it was moving. By the time I got my camera on it, this was all I was able to get.
UFO 1st Sighting SURPRISE Ball-of-Light Flies By Vanishes (10-1-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-10-02 | (Clifton-Fine School Track)(Star Lake, NY) (7:45pm est)I was out doing my Night Walking at the Track when I began to realize how quickly the post-twilight stars were emerging . . . then I saw this "ball-of-light" UFO making a strange appearance not too far above my head. No sooner did I get my camera zeroed in on it, it shortly began to decrease in size and vanish.
SUPER CREEPY !!! . . . A Prowling UFO . . . (9-8-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-09-14 | A very low flying, "ball of light" UFO. No wings, no exhaust plume, no sound. All you hear are crickets! * For lighter filtered version: youtu.be/fdefLMqyXZA(Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park) (My Backyard) (11:30pm est)
Flasher UFO at RIDGE RD (8-17-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-09-12 | HIGH STRANGENESS !!! . . . This particular UFO was an erratically moving/blinking one I've never seen before! (Ridge Rd, Oswegatchie, NY --- Adirondack Park )(11:15 pm est)FULL CREDIT to my very good friend ROMAN SALAS (visiting from Corona, CA) for this video capture using my IR Videocam. This was his very first video capture. He caught a real whopper here up at Ridge Rd, Oswegatchie, NY. For me (and others), in the past, Ridge Rd has been an exceptionally mysterious hot spot for strange UFO sightings -- now add Roman to that list.
UFO: Awesome BALL of LIGHT Flasher Fades Out (9-8-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-09-12 | IMPRESSIVE . . .Whatever it is ???(Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park) (My Backyard)(10:30 pm est)This was a slow-moving one, sporadically flashing at varying intensities of brightness for well over a minute until it just mysteriously "fades out." I almost think it was showing off?
Short BLUES GUITAR Clip Rob Horner and Roman Salas (8-20-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-08-29 | A short clip of my very good friend Roman Salas (right) and me (Rob Horner) playing an unrehearsed, improvised blues that my wife had the presence of mind to record. I hope you like it!
VERY SPECIAL . . . Multi-Orb Cluster ? (8-26-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-08-27 | This appears to be an "Orb Cluster" of at least 3 Orbs combined (?).
Bright-White ORB Descending (8-19-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-08-19 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park) (My Backyard) (11:15 pm est)I'm presenting this ORB moving at its natural speed as it appeared to me. Then I slowed it down to .25x (1/4) speed for a really good look. Notice how the ORB is not perfectly opaque, but somewhat transparent -- relative to the background trees, etc. It came right to me then appeared to vanish into the ground.
UFO: Extremely Slow Moving then Fades Out (7-31-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-07-31 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park) (My Backyard) (11:10 pm est)This is just another example of these strange UFO/UAPs I refer to as "Faders." This one was exceptional, compared to others, in how slowly it moved.
Jupiter and its Moons (7-24-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-07-25 | Here's some video I took of Jupiter ascending just after midnight. One with my Infrared (IR) videocam from my backyard vantage point. The other, from my front yard vantage point, with my tripod and regular, non-infrared, SONY videocam for a greater magnification shot. There was a full moon rising too, that's why there is so much pixelated light. This was the best I could get with the equipment I was using.
MEGA-Ball of Light UFO Appears Suddenly then Fades Quickly Vanishes (7-23-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-07-24 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard)(11:35 pm est)This was the second UFO sighting of the night -- within 10 minutes of the previous one I called a "Fly By" in the other video. I thought I saw a huge light moving via my peripheral vision just behind the north side pine trees -- all of sudden this MEGA-Ball of Light was just there. Apparently, another Fly By (?)-- are these two somehow related ?. I captured it! Also, notice at the 16 sec mark how it drastically fades to almost nothing, but it does continue on for another 15 seconds to complete disappearance.
Tricky UFO Fly By Dims Reappears Bright Then Flashes Fades Out (7- 23-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-07-24 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard)(11:25 pm est) At first I thought this was just a Satellite . . . until it began to surprise me with this tricky display of extreme dimming -- then reappearing -- glowing brighter -- then finally a singular flash to a fairly quick fade out. I've seen this scenario often enough now to really believe I'm being signaled(?) . . . I call it a "UFO fly by."
WAYDOWN WAILERS appear at OTTOS ABODE, Wanakena, NY (7-10-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-07-13 | Branded as an "Outlaw Swamp Rock" band, the Waydown Wailers were invited by Otto's Abode to be the first band to break a 22-month absence of musical entertainment in the little Adirondack town of Wanakena, NY. And that, they did !!! Thank you to everyone involved in putting this production together.
UFOs: Do Satellites Do This? (6-20-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-28 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard)(11:15 pm est)These are two clips I spliced together of two impressive UFO sightings (or ORB phenomena I label, "Glower-Dimmers") actually took place within 10 minutes of each other. These clips are edited to approx 30 sec each, but the total appearance ending with the characteristic "fade out" (or vanishing) of each UFO was about 90 sec or so. I just wanted to present the main highlights. Everything recorded here is at Natural speed and the use of filters for clarity.
UFO and METEOR Cross Paths (6-18-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-22 | I'm re-presenting this edited video to highlight the my accidental capture of an interesting meteor. At least, that what it appears to be -- although, I originally thought it could've been another UFO passing by at ultra-speed. However, we do have a Fader UFO that was the original capture happening here.
Mt Arab Hike (10-17-2020)(4pm est) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-12 | The NY Adirondacks' Mt Arab is a fun hike -- as you can readily observe from the facial expressions of everyone you see on the trail -- even their pets. It does have some steep spots here and there for some invigorating exercise, but no worry, it's a relatively short trek (1 mile). Well worth it too, since the Adirondack landscape is so breathtakingly beautiful when surveyed from a variety of spots around the peak -- especially from up inside the top of the Fire Tower. It's a total joy to behold the sunlight flooding the landscape while in its late afternoon descent. Spectacular cloud formations are a marvelous bonus. You may even see a low-flying prop plane with its pilot sending out a friendly wave while zooming the peak. I highly recommend this hike!
Intense UFO - Glows/Dims to MEGA-FLASH to Fade Out (6-11-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-11 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard)(12:20pm est)This was a very exciting spectacle. I was just getting my sky watch started by focusing my videocam on the star Vega when this Ball of Light UFO immediately appeared. It moves along glowing and dimming 4x then, WOW!!! . . . a MEGA-FLASH (I inserted a clip of this Flash moment at .06x speed) Followed by the UFO continuing the rest of its appearance 'glowing and dimming' until it finally fades out.
UFO Ball of Light Brightens Enlarges Then Shrinks to Fade Out (6-5-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-05 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park) (My Backyard) (12:15 am est)The first 60 seconds of this video is the main spectacle. The remaining time is to display the eventual fading out of this UFO.
UFO Flashes & Fades Out 2x / Reappears 3x Overall (6-1-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-06-02 | (Star Lake, NY -- Adirondack Park)(My Backyard) The capture of this UFO was a little tricky. I thought I caught only one flash-fade out sequence -- but by sticking with this UFO's apparent trajectory, I could barely see a spec of light continuing on a course. Then, surprisingly, the UFO re-emerged and began the flash-fade out sequence again. Overall, it slowly re-appeared three times before I lost sight of it for the trees.
IMPRESSIVE: Large, Pulsing Light ORB (5-28-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-29 | (Star Lake, NY - Adirondack Park) (My backyard) I don't see this often, but here we have a large ORB exhibiting a pulsing light action. I present it at two speeds. The first is the Natural speed and the second is at .50x (or 1/2) speed. Notice closely, especially in the second clip, you can actually observe the ORB's nucleus. Also, it's granular membrane.
Fantastic White ORB Encounter (5-21-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-22 | I have never had an ORB engage with me (and the IR cam) for such a sustained period of time. This original encounter was over 2 min. long, but for the sake of brevity I edited to the first 48 sec. (at its natural speed). This particular encounter was amazing! Usually these ORBs fly by quickly, anxiously fleeing from being spotted by the IR Light. That is, an ORB does not appear to like the IR light shining on and exposing it -- but then again, as we see here, there is the surprising "exception."
UFO Ball of Light Fader (5-18-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-21 | (Star Lake, NY)(My Backyard) (10:40pm est) I really don't know what these phenomena are, but I do see this type of display quite often. I call them "Faders." I thought this was a pretty good capture to show here.
UFO/UAP Signal Flashes every 14 to15 sec (5-17-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-17 | NOTE: The original video is over 10 minutes long. I edited it for the sake of brevity. The flashing UFO-UAP continued on for quite a bit. So, I decided to show the first 2 min 31 sec of this video -- in the original filter. I then decided to convert this video to a brighter filter from 2:31 marker onward -- where I had spotted a second, coincidental UFO-UAP I wanted to highlight. Incidentally, the second one appeared just above the flashing one and continued to move away to its left -- until it just disappeared. The signaling UFO/UAP ceased flashing a few minutes later. This was taken at 12:15 am est in my backyard in Star Lake, NY (Adirondack Park).
A FUN Natural Example of PAREIDOLIA (a fancy word) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-17 | Mother Nature is quite a mysterious artist leaving hidden, pictographic, cryptic messages on trees behind their bark covering. In this case, a fallen one I was chopping up here. Of course, I'm being facetious about a cryptic message. In any event, I couldn't help but notice the coincidental and intriguing wooden pictograph patterns. I realize this is some sort of worm or bug activity, etc., but it is a perfect example of human "pareidolia" at work in my mind. By scientific definition, pareidolia is "the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern . . . the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness." We all do this with clouds, rocks, the stars in the night sky and so forth. It's how our human minds create a synthetically contrived, rational order upon apparent random or chaotic phenomena. It's a survival mechanism hardwired into us from . . . well, I'll leave that up to you to ponder. I just wanted to have some fun with the fancy word.
ORB Materializes and Greets Me (5-14-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-05-15 | This happened so fast I had to slow it down to .12x speed so we could get a fairly decent look. I wish I could present more.
UFO/UAP Irregularly Flashing (4-18-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-04-19 | (Star Lake, NY) (My Backyard)(11:15 pm est) Although this video is edited to 53 seconds for brevity, know that the flashing UFO/UAP just suddenly vanished less than a minute after this video ended. For me, this "sudden vanishing act" appears to be a common occurrence in my sky watching experience. You can see this in other videos I've taken in my UFO/UAPs and ORBs (captured by me) Playlist.
Ball of Light UFO/UAP or ??? (4-8-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-04-16 | (Star Lake, NY)(My Backyard -- 10:30pm est) You decide 'what this is' ??? Sorry I didn't try to re-focus after zooming in. The object disappears into a (blurry) treeline -- as you see. It continued on re-appearing in treeline openings, then no longer appeared at all. The appearance of this phenomena is not 'uncommon' around here -- that is, the Adirondack Park is way, way upstate NY.
Flashing UFO/UAP or SAT ??? (4-5-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-04-06 | (10:30 pm est) (My Backyard - Star Lake, NY) My first capture of the year. Sorry for the graininess. I might of had the IR Light on too high. The video came out well enough anyway.
1st ORBS of SPRING (3-24-2021) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2021-03-24 | (1 am est) (38*F) My backyard in Star Lake, NY.
Death of a Snowblower R.I.P. Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-11-02 | After 14 harsh winters of use, my old Husqvarna Snowblower is heading for the scrap heap! The technician (proprietor) who honestly and competently assessed my machine was Wayne Dunn (Star Lake, NY). Obviously, without him having to say these words directly . . . it's time for a new one! Thank you Wayne.

MOTHMAN 2020 (for Halloween) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-10-30 | This is my modest rendering of the legendary cryptid . . . The Mothman.
First Snow of the Season (Oct 27, 2020) (5 pm est) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-10-27 | I knew it . . . I felt it . . . then there it was . . . SNOW !!! (My Backyard -- Star Lake, NY)
UFO/UAP A Moving Ball of Light - Irregularly Blinking (10-3-2020) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-10-04 | (9:15 pm est) (My Backyard -- Star Lake, NY) I had to hurry to capture this one. Parts may be a little shaky. I got what I could. Unfortunately, at the 18 sec mark, the digital zoom seems to have blurred the video some. Sorry! But, you can still see what's happening well enough.
ORBs 19 Orbs Cross Flying - Darting - Mingling (9-21-2020) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-09-21 | These wonderful ORBs were all taken between 10:30pm and Midnight in my Backyard. The first two clips are ORBs cross flying -- at Natural (1x) speed followed by 1/2 (.50) speed in original IR filter. The next two are darting Orbs, one to the left and one to the right at Natural speed (1x) using Sepia filter and brightness. The last one are impressive, little mingling, meandering Orbs -- at Natural speed (1x) and Sepia filter.Re-edited from 5-25-2020
UFO/UAP Fast Moving Flashing Changing Form Vanishes (9-17-2020) EDITED Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-09-18 | (10:1O pm est) (My Backyard - Star Lake, NY) . . . This video has been edited for the sake of brevity. If you are interested further, the link to the full, unedited, original video (2min 5sec) is posted in the comments. Notice how this single-orb UFO/UAPs begins to become a double-orb at the 16 sec mark -- with the second orb emerging from the rear of the first one. Also, at the 23 sec mark, I begin increasing the digital zoom. So, that's why the object(s) appear to get bigger -- they're closer. Then both UAP orbs grow equal in size -- then the lead one grows smaller until they both just suddenly vanish.
UFO/UAP? Mostly Stationary Sporadically Flashing (9-12-2020) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-09-13 | When I see satellites, even flashing ones, generally they don't act like this UAP we see here. That is, usually a satellite continually moves at a steady clip and when it flashes, the intervals usually have a consistent, measurable tempo -- as well as a consistent flash-of-light intensity. This UAP appears to be relatively stationary and/or floundering. Also, it appears to be flashing at some regular intervals along with some sporadic intervals -- and its flash-of-light intensity varies quite a bit too.This is recorded and presented at Natural Speed (1x).
Magnified Night Sky (9-6-2020) Rob Horner - Star Lake, NY 2020-09-10 | I took this video with my new Videocam that has both digital zoom and an analog telescoping lens (Bushnell -- Mod# 260140). Interesting, alternate, surprise appearance at the end.
