Triangle over East Amherst, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It got into a clearing above 2 trees, and it was easily visible, as the sky was still a dark shade of blue. I saw a black triangle with six lights on it. Five white, one red, and the red one was blinking. There was a white light at the front of the craft, another behind it, and three more white lights along the back. The blinking red light was in the center. It glided at about the same speed as a plane across the sky, and was flying pretty low. I would say it was more or less gliding than flying. It was also about as loud as a normal commercial jet if you were maybe 200 feet away from it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120297). 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.
