Formation over Port Chester, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was no sound at all. We have never seen anything like it. There was nothing we could observe that would indicate it was a aircraft. No blinking lights. If I were to guess on the speed, it/they were moving I would probably say 40mph. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121511). 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.

Walking dog at night with wife. Wife saw object in sky which was very high glowing from orange to redish, moving from east to west very slowly. I thought it was a plane at first, then when we stopped walking to see if it was moving it was slowing down and came to a complete stop in the north western section of the sky. The size of it was like a typical star but slightly brighter than a planet and in a orange redish color then suddenly it had a slight burst of red and slowly started to fade. I have seen small aircraft and even high altitude planes that could fool someone for a min as a UFO but this WAS NOT a plane. I have never witness this before. It was definitive strange. I rushed to my computer which was only like 3 mins away to see where the International space station was and it was well past NY and in the lower Pacific Ocean region even though it did have a flight path in the area. Something was trailing it or something else is going on.
