Strange lights in the sky over Kerhonkson, New York, USA, a UFO hotspot, 9 Feb 2021

A lady from Kerhonkson, New York recently contacted a local newspaper with a image showing a strange light in the night sky. 

  

The witness states "The emailer tells us the photo was taken with the timelapse function on an iPhone 11, around 9 pm on February 9th, 2021 in Kerhonkson. They also explain that they watched the light about 15 minutes and then went inside. The light was still there by the time they went inside." They also say "there was nothing in the sky and no noises accompanying the light."

UFO sightings have been well documented in the Hudson Valley over the years, with  hundreds of people reporting objects flying through the sky in the late 80s and 90s.. There have been episodes of shows like Unsolved Mysteries that focus on the burst of sightings in Dutchess County years ago.

Most recently, CBS Nightly News made a visit to Pine Bush as they looked into a "credible" Hudson Valley UFO sighting in Orange County.

Analysis

Often, lights in the sky are as a result of light projections from the ground below. Perhaps there was a festival or grand opening of a shopping mall or casino?

Of course,  this could just be an airship or advertising blimp.
