Light over Pottersville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family was on our way home from a shopping trip to nearby Queensbury, NY. I was stargazing like I normally do when I get to ride home. Everyone else was distracted with driving and video games. We were in between the Chestertwon, NY, and Pottersville, NY, exits on I-87 North. I looked up and saw what at first appeared to be a plane judging by the flashing lights. After watching the craft fly for a while it was obvious that it was not a plane, or a plane with new flight technology at least. It appeared to flit like a moth would, erratically, almost as you would imagine a craft might appear if it were time traveling, punching a hole in reality from point a to point b. I watched the craft for around 5 minutes, and saw another appear far to the right. The first craft flew to the other one (they both flew in the same manner) and I lost them in the treeline. I have seen these same crafts for years. I believe most people wouldn't look watch what appears to be a plane for more than a few seconds so they are probably often overlooked. I will try to get a video asap since I see these so often.

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.

Never have seen anything like this. Large white, unblinking, non flashing light spherical. A little bigger than Jupiter visible in sky tonight. The light had a fan like spray of light training behind it as it moved from west to east horizontally. Lasted about 30-45 seconds. Then the tail spray disappeared first, then a couple seconds later the white main body of light disappeared. Totally clear skies tonight, no clouds in the sky.

No sound or blinking lights, just the 12 objects moving slowly for approximately 60 minutes.
