The report, as filed
Yellow, white and gray object seen over long island Farmingdale western skys seen from Whyndanch area. At around 3:15 am 7-26-2014, I came outside to put some bags in my car and looked up at the sky, I notice a round object at stand still for 2 seconds then moved fron southwest to northwest at lighting speed. This object I believed was a flying saucer, It moved so fast with a tail and just disappeared. This object was in the same path the planes take coming from the south to line up with JFK and LGA in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
