Light over Old Field, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It headed north, then turned west and went towards the otherside of the bay towards Northport. The objects were launched about 10 minutes apart. We guessed at what it night be-Chinese lanterns, drones,?? but the flight of them seemed to be somewhat controlled. The light was orange, almost looking like fire.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120961). 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.
