Changing over Middletown (west of), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a very large bright star, west of Middletown, CT. My husband and I then looked through binoculars and saw red (I saw some blue lights too, he didn't ) lights that looked like sparks under it. Then at approximately 10:00 pm it changed completely to a sphere shape with circles. Light was illuminating through some circles in a cross pattern with the brightest light in the center. Possible sighting of Venus?? PD

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.
