The report, as filed
While driving South on route 12 just south of Sherburne N.Y. my wife and I seen a very bright vivid blue light on the sky. It was approximately 11:00pm (23:00) On December 17, 2014. At first it appeared not to move, we observed this for a minute ,the location and color was peculiar so I pulled over to the side of the road . It was a cloudy night , the clouds were high , no stars could be seen in the sky. The light was located high in the sky at 45 degree angle in front us ,above route 12 . Then it shot across the sky very fast to our left from in front of us to a ten o’clock position . It stopped made a few short up and down , right and left movements and real small tight circles then shot across the sky to our right to a two o’clock position, it stopped then disappeared . The light did change from the bright blue to and amber color a few times while moving > I attempted to take picture with a digital camera but it could not focus in and take pictures But I did get 47 seconds of video on my Ipod . I estimate we observed this for 3 to 4 minutes . The light was high in the sky above an open field when it when out .

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.
