Light over Owego, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
two times in the last 2 weeks, myself and one other person saw what looked like a single object with multicolor lights sit in the sky and not move for a long period of time. The first time I saw it I was at a park in Newark Valley, NY, about 13 miles from where we just saw the one on the report. That one, after a long time in one spot, changed its light to a solid bright white light and took off across the sky. The one from tonight I watched w/ binoculars for about 1hr and went back inside. The 1st time I saw it the first thing we could think of was it was a chinese candle deal, but it stayed in one spot. Second thought it could be a drone, but it was to big to be one to see it as far away as it appeared

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.
