UFOs over New York City

  Shiny silver objects seen in the skies over Manhattan. Weather balloons? Planets/stars? We await further updates, as it seems nobody has sent any planes or copters up there for a closer look.

  Currently there are photos and videos on the internet, at least thousands of New Yorkers are staring in the skies watching the bright spots.

  Must be some pranks or viral advertisement lah. Fill up some balloon-like things with helium and set loose.

  Funny thing is, when the public spot the objects up in the sky, why the army intelligent or their advance technology never spot them? And never say anything?

  Assuming its a balloon, how can any radar detect it? 

  Those army wont dare to release any news if they are not sure of nothing. Who wouldnt want to cover their own ass?

  Dont forget, in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbPL91AUAkc)about the UFO sighting in NY, an author published his books some time ago claiming UFOs will appear over New York on 13 Oct 2010. And this is exactly what happen.

  It really brings me to think of this incident as a viral advertisement. A viral ad, in my own word, is something that gets everyone talking about it and linking it to a certain product. In this case, maybe its the author's book.

  That author's book was meant to be talking about some prophecy thing, so if there's no balloon (UFO) in the sky, who would buy his books? Now that some UFOs really appeared, people will be flocking to his books and read what other prophecys he has come up with!

  LOL all the way to the bank eh?

  At least someone need to come out and clarify with it.

  What I mean even if the US intelligent keep quiet, how about those domestic/international flights? I am not sure whether any pilots ever saw it on their radar system or not. Taking into account of the heavy air traffic around the world.

  Anyway, if true, then UFO coming to meet the humans!

  Seriously, i hope it's just some advertising gimmick or weather balloon or remote control craft. Doubt the world is ready for contact (or invasion...)

  Here's an article from tonight's Wan Bao newspaper, my mandarin isn't that good, need someone to translate it? I believe it's someone who spotted something in the sky over Serangoon North (but the photo in the papers is so poor! Can't see a thing!?!?!)

  It's said this person posted the photo on Facebook as well (can't find it yet though), might be able to take a better look at the coloured version.
