Formation over West Falls, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On August 08th 2015 at 22:26:18 I was at a wedding and had remembered there was a meteor shower that evening. So I got a chair and sat in the field to watch. A few minutes in I saw a very strange object zip across the sky 3 times back and forth. On the third time it stopped in my view of sight, and then split into 3 objects! The color of the objects was amber, orange. Then the objects continued to move slowly over my area making a triangular pattern and changing there configuration. This happened for a few minutes then they moved out of sight. First I pulled out my camera and captured a Time lapse video/image of the objects as they changed position. Then I proceeded to taking some still images of the objects. In the still images they appear to be white but in the Time Lapse they are orange; not sure why. This was one of the more interesting sightings I have had but not the only one. I have included the images and video with a Google maps (sat image) to give you perspective on were the objects were relative to me on the ground, and my surroundings. Interestingly enough though, to note that there is a large nuclear facility not far from were this sighting happened know as the “West Valley Nuclear Services”.

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.
