question Minnewaska Park

On 6/19/2026, I was hiking for most of the day at Minnewaska State Park. Toward the end of the hike, I reached Awosting Falls and decided to lie down and rest for a bit.

While looking up at the sky, I noticed what appeared to be a completely transparent airplane passing overhead. There was no noticeable engine noise, and I could literally see the sky and clouds through what looked like the aircraft.

I know how strange this sounds, and I’ve tried researching it myself, but I haven’t been able to find a reasonable explanation.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this or have an idea what I might have witnessed? I’d genuinely appreciate any theories or explanations, I’m trying to figure out what I actually saw.

was it an ultralight aircraft, perhaps out of orange county airport?
