Unknown over Lagrange, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I have been seeing strange lights in the sky, zig zagging, emitting beams of light, and other various weird things. This, however, was way closer to home. I live next to a nature trail, and next to that is a large open field followed by an active gravel bank. It was around 4am, maybe just before. I looked off my second story deck and I see a solid red light gliding just below the tree line, at the edge of the forest in the clearing next to the nature trail. Maybe 50 yards away? It appeared to be very large and dark, judging by the way it blocked my sight of its surrounding. It was silent, almost like it was blocking the background noise in its direction. I hit my boyfriend who was standing next to me and brought it to his attention. He never admits to seeing anything strange but said he could not explain what he just saw and wanted to go inside. A little while later we went back outside. And just above the tree line on the other side of my property I see wha! t appeared to be a plane. I wasn't sure anymore after it circled my property and proceeded to slowly drop vertically out of my sight in a similar area I saw the previous solid red light headed. Neither of them made any noise. I have never seen anything like either of them before, and am not really sure what to make of it.

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.

4 bluish-white lights flying in a circle and meeting in the middle. Could not have been any event or music festival lighting as they were moving North-East. I followed the lights for about an hour until I got right under them and they just vanished. There is two small private airports in the area but the lights were seen in the opposite direction. Also, no aircraft to my knowledge could emit that kind of light formation. It also could not have been a drone because these lights were very far apart. (It was seen in the next town over) The objects were silent and as they were flying in a circle they were also "wobbling"

They are different colors and brightness, blink irregularly, and sometimes emit beams of light. There are often too many to count, and the way they move is inexplicable. They hover back and forth, then suddenly shoot in any imaginable direction and stop, and continue hovering. As it gets later, more appear. Just now it was like every star I could see was moving inexplicably. It is an extremely starry night. It is very strange.

At first only one light appeared, followed by a second object a few seconds later, and then a third. When the 1st object was out of range another one appeared in the same place as the first object. The object appeared from below the horizon. This went on for roughly 5 mins until the last 3 orbs were no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
