Other over Palermo, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Have only lived in country yr & 1/2; Take advantage of dark nights for meteor showers. Went out to sit on deck for a few; noticed one of many bright stars...suddenly one started moving slowly westward toward Lake Ontario. Don't think I'm nuts; too slow for even satellite, not to mentioned slowly changed directions slightly. Am very familiar with the little high altitude plane traffic and lights, etc. This "star" stopped again a few times then continued. The only odd feature was an occasional white light possibly in front of the direction traveling; very white, not particularly far in front or outstanding-just very unusual. I don't "creep" out easily, but after going out a second time, and seeing the progress it had made, with nothing like it ever seen- I came IN! I don't think I'm nuts....

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.
