Triangle over Liverpool (north Syracuse), NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My girlfriend and I were driving back to her apartment in Liverpool after my cousins wedding on a friday night. The NY state fair was still going on which I think I saw that someone there saw the same thing as me. I'm very skeptical on whether people actually see UFO's and such. Although that night was different. I saw what at first looked like plane over Onondaga Lake. Although I then realized the "Plane" wasn't moving anywhere. It looked to just hover. This aircraft then started slowly moving away from the lake and towards our direction in the sky. It passed from the left side of the street we were on and ended up going to the right. I turned all of my music off and opened my window and heard nothing at all. If it were an airplane I would have easily heard it. It wasn't as high up as a plane either. As it got closer to my vicinity, It looked like a triangle. There were bright lights lined up on it from the front to the back, unlike planes that have a bright light and then blinking lights on back wings. Being so much closer than an actual plane you would think it would be moving fast. It slowly went across the sky while my girlfriend and I pondered as to what it could be. We questioned everything possible. This wasn't anything I've seen before. I bet it was either a government aircraft that no one knows about, or a UFO, even thought I do not want to admit it.

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.
