Triangle over Long Beach, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was waking from my house to Ralph's ices about 1/3 mile from my house with my 3 cousins on beech street when we stopped to look at 2 fixated lights hovering over the ocean. They were horizontal and triangular, and appeared to me to be at least 1/8 over the oceanfront part of the beech given my proximity. They never moved. . 40 seconds from the time I decided to film it. I snapped one shot across the street, and one second before I confirmed what my first thought was. I was perhaps 2 blocks from the ocean on beech st on and fumbled for video mode. I was able to get the .40 second shot before I saw a direct plane or such pale out or muffle my video. The occurance of moment left us perplexed discussing coincidence and chance ... After the fact. One of my troupe who is witness is an actuary and is perhaps the best possible person I would have as witness testify On behalf my/our claim. ((END ADDENDUM))

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.

Last night at around 10pm I was laying in bed staring out the window with a view of the east end canal in Long Beach and saw two large white circular lights chasing each other back and forth at a quick speed. They were hidden within the clouds but the shape and light color were easy to see. The clouds seemed low last night because the orbs looked large. Saw them 3 times in a matter of a minute before they went away. Then about 5 minutes later just saw one traveling a bit slower and a bit farther away.

Witness provides minimum of information. Looks like missile launch. PD
