As reported

Sphere over Irondequoit, NY

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

The report, as filed

After looking further we counted up to seven. They all exhibited the same characteristics: Flashing, multi-color lights and at a great distance and altitude. They were so high they appeared to be stationary until we noticed that they were moving to the west. We witnessed through binoculars which showed the lights changing. Initially, I chalked it up to low orbit satellites reflecting the sun but discovered a video on youtube shot in San Francisco the same evening showing one of the exact same objects we viewed - link here https://youtu.be/DVNhpxKjULg

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126619). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Irondequoit, NY

I saw 5 red lights flying in a v-formation with two additional lights following behind. They were flying west to east. The lights were bright red. There was a single light on each. The lights were not blinking; they were steady bright red. There was no sound that I could hear. I only saw them as they flew over. I am a Certified Financial Planner and I was working in my office, on my computer when I saw them. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Minnesota.
