The report, as filed
WHILE DELIVERING MY MORNING PAPERS LIKE I DO EVERY MORNING. I HAD WITNESSED A OBJECT IN THE LOW HORIZON. SEEMED TO BE TWO LIGHTS ONE BIGGER THAN THE OTHER. ATTEMPTED TO VIDEO THE SITE BUT DID NOT PICK UP THE IMAGE. I DID TAKE PHOTOS AS WELL. BECAUSE OF THE PHONE I USED ITS JUST A BLUR WHEN ZOOMED IN ON. THIS OBJECT DID NOT MOVE NO NOISE AND OBSERVED IT FOR AWHILE . I STILL HAD A JOB TO DO SO I TRIED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT FROM TIME TO TIME .IT DID NOT MOVE IT REMAINED IN THE SAME POSITION SO IT WAS NOT A STAR THAT I KNOW OF IN THAT PART OF THE SKY. IT WAS VISIBLE TILL SUN UP . I CAN SWEAR THAT I DID SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SILVERY CLOUD SHAPE AFTER SUNRISE. IT WAS STILL IN THE VERY SAME PLACE AS WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. I HAVE HAD A SEEN A ANOTHER OBJECT BEFORE AWHILE BACK BUT WAS MUCH FARTHER AWAY AND IN ANOTHER POSITION IN THE SKY AND THAT ONE WAS MOVING AROUND. I BELIEVE THAT I HAD THREE SIGHTING THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN.FUNNY THING IS NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE WITNESSED THIS. WERE NOT ALONG HERE AND WHO EVER THEY ARE SEEM TO OUTSMART OUR RADAR I GUESS . HAS MUCH TO DO WITH THE SHAPE OF THE CRAFT I THINK. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mistaken sighting for two stars (sic. Planets?) in the eastern sky just before sunrise. I had made a report of a sighting in Madison, Connecticut on the 18 of this month. Sorry to say it was 2 stars in the eastern sky. The other sighting earlier in the year was for sure a real sighting. Guess I am hoping for another sighting as grand as the first one. Sorry to bother you with a false sighting. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness corrects his conclusion about the sighting. 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.

Light appeared from clouds. Then it just stayed there for 15-20 mins where it dimmed and went away. During sighting it went away once and then the light re appeared and sat there. Before it left it got really bright and then dimmed till it was gone and never came back

A man happened to be jogging by me while I was seeing this and I stopped him to ask him what he thought it was. He was as perplexed as I was. I continued to photograph the object. It appeared to move extremely slowly and was leaving a cloud like trail behind it. There were no lights. There was no sound other than the sound of the water and at times I would seem to blend into the sky and then reappear. I would put the object somewhere over Long Island sound or over Nassau County, NY. I have at least 30 still shots taken with iPhone 10s Plus 256. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded and eloquent. He occupies a very responsible job, and we suspect he is an exceptionally qualified, and reliable, witness. PD

was going to work at three in the morning . at my back stairs i looked up and saw a streak of light. At that time also saw a jet flying in almost in the same direction. Looking just above the tree line observed a fireball shaped thing. It moved around in many directions . up, down, speed off sideways at a very fast speed than return to same spot and hover moving around just a little bit. I am seeing a pattern forming here. Seems that these objects appear while there is no moon. I have tried to video this but lack the proper video tools to document what is going on here . this is a real case and should not be ignored. I have seen this once before. Same craft same area just about.
