Triangle over Orchard Park, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Triangular shaped object flying north/northwest over orchard park between 10:15 and 10:30 pm in the night sky.. Typical airplane traffic to and from buffalo niagara international airport when out of the south to north was a triangular shaped object quite large no noise whatsoever. Flying noticeably faster than and airplane and much larger ..5 times wider than a full moon and lower flying than an airplane as well . 5 lights on either sider in front forming a large v pattern up front.. Decent view but too fast to grab my camera/ recorder.. 10-15 seconds and out of my view heading north/ northwest.. Soft white lights no strobe no noise just all softer/ dimmer lights in a v - formation.. Specifics are 338 degrees north bound half the height that a typical commercial airliner flies at

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.

It was there before we were, but we watched it for a about 20 mins, and then it took off west and could be heard from the ground. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
