On Sunday, November 27, 2011, a large UFO with four bright pink lights was spotted over Maspeth, Queens NY. A 44-year-old resident of the United States spotted the unidentified flying object at 5:30 a.m. as he was beginning his work day. This witness was able to record the UFO on video, and it has been featured on latest-ufo-sightings.net as well as a Russian language UFO-centric website.

Since the video first appeared on the Internet several days ago, it has been viewed thousands of times and received many comments both positive and negative. It has also been duplicated several times across YouTube. The original poster of the UFO video on the left side of this page was MyDomenech

The UFO video is very short, just 21 seconds in length. It shows a dark industrial landscape with parked vehicles in the foreground. Buildings and what appear to be smokestacks are in the background. It is above these "smokestacks" or other structures that the four pink lights can be seen blinking on and off at various speeds.

Reaction to this UFO video has been mixed. At least one viewer brought up the possibility of Chinese lanterns. This stock explanation seems unlikely given that the four pink lights remain perfectly stationary. Another viewer makes the point that the scenery could look very different during the day perhaps implying that the lights are attached to permanent fixtures above the smokestacks or factory. Certainly it would be helpful to have video confirmation that this alleged UFO is not present during the day or at other times.
