Other over Highlany, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On January 27, 2015, I was looking out the window of our third floor apartment, when right in the tree line, I saw a black object, completely smooth in texture, seem to glide down towards the ground. It was larger than a bird and smaller than a car and was the same shape as a sneaker from the rear right side. I watched the object for a few seconds until it was out of view, down in thick trees. This occurred in Clintondale, NY, and the craft seemed to be near the church and cemetery

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.
