Circle over Yorktown Heights, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I've never seen an object like before. It last about 7 seconds and it was flying west towards Rockland/Orange County. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I remember the object being round. There were no lights on the object. It seemed to be just a little bit bigger than the appearance of the sun in the morning sky. I saw it for 7 seconds, or so, as I was driving, but then trees and other objects blocked my view of it. It was just amazing and shocking at the same time... Best Regards, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

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.
