Triangle over Boylston, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night on July 4th,2014 my 11 yo daughter was at the back door calling in her puppy when she saw a triangular shaped object with a red long light and three smaller white lights on each corner traveling low over our home from south to north. The object traveled over the field by our house and then disappeared. She came running into my bedroom to find me looking out the window towards the field due to feeling a strange energy and "wubbawubba" noise having passed over the house unlike a plane. The object had moved much faster than any plane or jet that would pass over our house headed to fort drum. We then noticed three red, yellow, and white lights in a triangular shape hovering over the east corner of the field. The lights seemed to be spinning and moving closer and further apart together at the same speed. Then a fourth light appeared to the west of the triangle of lights with similar appearance. The lights seemed to fade away into the sky after about 30 minutes. These were NOT fireworks!

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.
