Light over Wynanskill, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home down my friends driveway and a light caught my eye and I pointed it out to my other friend I was bringing home and then he observed two other lights and then one disappeared and the other two lights moved around very slowly for 10 minutes and as we were about to keep driving it looked like there was a flash of lightning above the lights. Also, just realized this was near very long power lines. We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Source of report elects to remain anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124121). 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.
