As reported

Light over Watertown, NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Let dog out and saw large number of reddish lights moving east to west. They moved slowly over a large park up a hill from my house. There was no discernible sound. I called my husband out and he counted a total of 23 lights in the sky. Most were in 2 main groups. A couple followed by themselves. The lights moved behind a tree and as I moved to continue to watch the lights they were gone. Single lights contined to appear from what seemed like one place in the sky. The single lights were moving in a line across the sky. They seemed to reach some point and were gone. There would be a short break where I could see no lights. Then a light would appear and 2 or 3 more would follow in a line. Then there would be a short break again and it would start again. My husband stopped watching when the large groups were gone. I contined to watch and walk around for 15 minutes or so. When I came in the single lights continued. We were going to go up to the park but t! he lights were gone when I checked 15 minutes later. We are near Ft. Drum, so could be something military. However, no sound so not helicopters. Seems like an awful lot of drones. I don't know if drones make noise. No reports in the media of the lights. My husband and I are both professionals. Never have seen anything like this before. I took pictures of the lights -- don't show much, except 10 lights in the sky.

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.
