Unspecified over New Hartford, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On May 1, 2015, at 9:28pm, I saw what I think was a meteor. A large flash of neon green light with gold and white trailed through the sky. The tail reminding me of sparklers. Heading north, arching from about 8 o’clock to 7. The tail seemed thicker than usual. If a normal tail would be 1/8" to 1/4" looking like a golden thread, this one seemed to be more like 3/8” to 1/2” lasting a few seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118744). 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.

While returning from a hike on McKeever Road, I took a photo of the trailhead sign on Route 28. It was only after we returned home later that I looked at my photos and noticed two strange clusters of lights and nearby what looks like a cloud shaped like a triangle. When I took the photo I didn't hear or see any planes or helicopters in the sky. In fact, no sounds were heard. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Two lights separated into three, then four, as they flew overhead.

Odd and fast, unlike any aircraft I have seen in this area.
