As reported

Light over Potsdam, NY

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

The report, as filed

In the sky southeast of Potsdam appeared an orange light that would disappear and reappear (think like a steady 3 to 4 second pulse) in the sky. As it reappeared each time, it was appearing the same distance apart. The movement was not natural or aerodynamically explained (definitely not a plane or helicopter). I pulled over to get a better look and it stopped. Drove home from that point (about 4 minutes) and had 2nd witness outside meeting me. Upon looking South it started again then stopped again for about 30 seconds. No further sighting after that. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126872). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
