A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself and 2 strangers noticed 5-6 very bright orange dots flying across the night sky in formation. It seemed that the objects had the orange light on the front of the crafts. When they turned the light faded away. There was no sound at all. They were flying much lower than most airplanes fly here and about the same distance away from the ground as helicopters fly. One of the strangers took a photo of the craft and in the picture it looked like orange boomerangs. 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.

I was looking out my bedroom window and I noticed an object rotating in the sky and was just rotating in place for 3 -5 minutes then it started rotating away I have two videos of it looks like some kind of propulsion system underneath was powering it. It looked like two ovals connected with two propulsion cylinders underneath.

Above the Chevy dealership in Clifton Park I saw a reflective object in the sky. At first, all I saw was the light shining off the object and I thought it was a plane. Once I was alongside it, I saw that it was not moving. It looked like an egg shaped metal sphere about 500 feet high. I was driving so I could only glance at it.

Driving north on RT146A at approximately 18:05 saw a very bright light that was hovering in the sky then a blackness began behind it from my point of vision which grew to a size larger than the light then the light moved into the blackness and could no longer be seen and then the blackness grew smaller and smaller until it was gone.

I was standing out on my driveway at approx 9pm on Sept. 13 when I witnessed an orange light (almost looked like a fireball) moving slowly across the sky. I yelled to get my brother who also seen it. As he ran in to get my parents another orange light followed closely behind in the same direction. Both objects were slow moving and almost pulsing getting brighter then dimmer. I would compare them to a meteor but no tail and moving much to slow. We continued to watch for approx 2 min. until they just disappeared. I attempted to video, but my hands were shaking and i couldn't get my phone to record. There was an overcast so these objects were below the cloud cover so they weren't to far up. These were very bright and no sound we could here. By far the strangest thing I have ever seen.

Saw 2 bright lights going from north to south. They were very bright yellowish orange color. They were below the height of a normal airplane and some what near to what a helicopter would fly. They went out of sight after about 10 mins. They did not make any sound.
