Triangle over Patterson, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we approached, we lost sight behing the trees and buildings. We then turn right onto 292. 2-3 minutes later we see just past Mooney Hill road we see the same lights in a triangle hovering a few hundred feet over tue trees, remaining in one spot. It was raining pretty decently at the time but the object was far below the clouds. After continuing down 292 for another minute, we lost sight of the object behind a mountain.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115850). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

At 5:30 pm I saw a white cigar shaped object flying over head. It appeared to be around same height as other planes fly frequently over our house. It was white had a black band around middle. It made no audible sound and could not see wings or a tail. It was not far enough away that we wouldn’t be able to see these things. It moved along at around the same speed as other aircraft till it went behind trees and we lost sight. I’m sure this was not an airplane. If relative to a star or the moon it would be the moon. Could see no lights. It was in the east sky and headed north east as best I could tell.
