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 driving westbound on NY's Northernstate parkway, I noticed suinshine on an overcast day, i looked up to see clouds swirling and forming a hexagonal shape of clear sky, what looked to be much larger then a 747 airplane started darting back and fourth in the sky, at times going out of my visual range. The thing looked like a steryotypical flying saucer though with a less narrow and taller top half, almost shaped like a fedora styled hat, and appeared a dark grey indistinct color. The thing was very huge, I cant understate this, if I had to estimate, I would say roughly 300' across maybe 40' tall. The thing was moving to me what looked like left and right but was probably closer to North / south given my orientation. The thing was moving incredibly quickly i would guess at least a few miles as it moving beyond my ability to see it, also the trees by the side of the road were tall, I could only really see to my left/up, but i could see clearly for a fair distance given the curve of the road. After going left / right a few times maybe less then 10, it was gone, and the clouds were back to normal as well. the geometric vortex in the clouds seemed to follow it and give a clear view of it as it moved. I was driving in moderate traffic at the time so I had maybe 15 seconds of view time over a maybe 30 second period. I didn't know I could report this until today, the dates and times are estimated as it was a while ago, but I'm fairly certain the location is within 2 miles of the sighting.

Doughnut shaped, seemed small then as passed over seemed bigger, silvery, a bit a slow wobble at times, moving medium speed, meandering but from south to north. No wind at all at the time. Traveled far away till could not see any more. Possible lights or reflection of a pinkish sky at the time.

Object appeared round or spherical. Color was a bright orande with slight flickering but not strobes. Flying NNE to SSW at what seemed to be a high altitude. Total of 10-12 objects spread out over the sky (due to trees vision to the north is approx. 15 degree elevation while southern is approx 30 degrees elevation). Time from Firestone I saw to the last one was about 20 seconds. Watching them they were faster than commercial aircraft. Traveled in a haphazard formation N to S. The sky had some high altitude clouds but otherwise it is a clear sky. What caught my eye was the bright orange color with a brighter center, could not detect any sound. The more I think about the altitude, it was high but not so high that it seemed far away--hard to describe not knowing their size. I took 3 photos but an iPhone6 camera is not what I confided a camera. Photos came out as the typical UFO picture, a spot in the sky. You want a description of the observer. 61 years old, retired manufacturing engineer. Not much to me. Thank you for your time!

Me and my friend were standing in the street by his car when I see his face look up in shock. He tells me to turn around and asks me what the heck that is. It was a blue fireball about the size of my hand with a trail that resembled a huge shooting star as if it was only about 2500 feet away falling out of the sky from west to east at an incredible speed. The most bizarre thing about it was it changed colors from white to blue then orange before it disappeared from sight. I tried to find the landing pint but couldn't.

The UFO had a light on the bottom and accelerated in a curved path out of sight.
