Cylinder over Wantagh, NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Lights went on (all lite up like fire) and then went off. All three were apart from each other. Yard got bright also...the lights went off and then back on. We got scared and ran inside. But looked like ice cream cone shape with fire colors....took three pictures.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120620). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
