Other over Peru, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving south on Ny interstate I-87 at 11:45 pm, as I began entering an area of interstate under construction, I noticed a bright orange orb at roughly 50 deg. Inclination. My attention had to be totally on driving at this point and I could not stop of course! It traveled seemingly under its own control and I saw no trail, or tail. As the orb was headed due north, the passing was brief but astounding!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121910). 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.
