Other over Tuscarora Indian Reservation, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A gas station attendant pointed out objects in sky to me & several drivers. Me & my grandson observed three objects in sky. We could not make out the shape but could see they were silver. I got out my binoculars for a closer look. With the binoculars their were three X shaped silver objects 10 degrees north of overhead, higher than the cumulus clouds. Originally in a triangle shape equal distance from each other. Then, after being obscured by a small cloud, they reappeared in a straight line, equidistant from each other. They appeared to be stationary. A power line was overhead, so when standing next to my truck, I could use the line to judge they weren't moving. After about 5 minutes the objects moved quickly straight up until they were no longer visible.

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.
