Oval over Port Crane, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a bright circle of bluish-white light hovering what looked to be a few miles away from my house. It was too bright to be a star or any other celestial object. It did not move until about 45 seconds later, in which it started moving rapidly in a westward direction. To me, it appeared to be moving faster than any helicopter. Also, the light on the object appeared to be too bright to be a helicopter at that distance. The object made no noise at any time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118811). 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.
