📝 Description

Updated synthesis: '15 Recent UFO Sightings in Upstate New York' appears to be a compilation of self-reported UAP sightings in Upstate New York, drawn from NUFORC's database and republished by local outlets. As of late September 2025, NUFORC and major outlets note that New York state recorded 66 UAP sightings in the first half of 2025, spanning rural towns and big-city skies.
