Unknown over Shirley, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 2050 hours tonight, October 10, 2014, I saw two odd lights, almost the color of flames, appears in the southern sky and move north above me. I assume they were satellites, but I'd like to confirm as I’ve never seen anything like this before. This was in Shirley, N.Y. I’d just stepped out front of my house for a smoke when they appeared. It’s an overcast, rainy evening with no stars visible. They appeared at about 45* and traveled to about 120* before disappearing, one then the other. They seemed to be very high and I think they went out of view due to the height they reached rather than going behind clouds as their light burned through the cloud cover, or having burned up in the atmosphere. I brought my wife out to see them, and I recorded them.

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.
