Formation over Hicksville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Orange almost twinkling sphere shaped objects. Flying from west to east. Firstly appx 8 or 10 in a formation of singular and dual file, then loner objects appeared to follow the same path as the original objects faded, they too followed a similar path until they faded into the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121589). 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.

I was driving home and saw three round balls of light flying around each other in circles, and also flickering in and out of the sky (western sky) while waiting at a traffic light. I videoed one of them by zooming up on it with my iphone. The object changed shapes while I was videoing it and then it got larger and sped up and flew away. As I continued to drive home, I saw a trail like you would see coming out of the back of a jet moving at a very fast speed but there was no plane or anything else at the beginning of it (also in the western sky). The trail stopped abruptly and a ball of light came out of it and then disappeared. Both of these events happened in the same area of the sky looking west just south of Manhattan.

On Saturday, Aug 1, 2015, @ approx. 11PM, I was closing up my sun room, to get ready to retire for night. I happened to look up through the large glass windows, from a now darkened room, and saw what appeared to be this invasion of bright colored orange/yellow lights in formation, slowly moving across the sky, in a left to right movement. I immediately awoke my son to come and look. I asked him what he thought this was as it did appear frightening to me. I had never seen anything like this before except in the movies. He also said it looked very odd and suspicious. These lights appeared to drift entirely out of sight in about 7 to 10 minutes in complete harmony. They did appear to be triangular shaped, with almost a small tail at the end of each, and all being the exact shape and size.
