Changing over New York City (Queesn)(Jamaica), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed a very bright, ellipticle-shaped, yellowish/orange oval ball move quickly from left to right in a slight arc in the northern, clear sky. The streak/tail length was about a long city block, perhaps two considering wheere I was standing in front of my home. The stars were against the background sky canvas and in a clear sky. The speed was faster than an aircraft even from visual from ground distance. There was no cherry bombing or rockets sounds. It seems that it could have been about a 1-2 seconds and abruptly ceased.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110780). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
