Circle over Mohawk, NY

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

The report, as filed

My husband and I went out for a walk in our neighborhood. I always look up into the sky and star gaze and as I did this I saw a bright orange circle coming toward us. It was about the size of a low flying plane but was completely circular, bright orange like fire, and silent. I said, "look a ufo!" My husband said "what is that?!". Then it stopped and hovered right in our line of vision. My husband kept trying to come up with explanations for what it was. A Chinese lantern, drone. But it wasnt. It had stopped! It was early, only about 9:15, so we could see people in their houses and I wanted to call to them to come see the ufo! After watching it for about a minute it moved in a different direction from how it was traveling before, to the right and traveled across the sky into the clouds out of site. I have no doubt what we saw was the real thing. My husband is a huge skeptic and he said now he is a believer! The whole time we witnessed this I kept saying, "see I told you! It's a ufo! They're here!"

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.
