Oval over Waterloo, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had pulled out my Meade 8” lx200 telescope, so they could view it. They told me they had been watching it for some time, when it was NE. 4 adults and 4 children looked through the telescope and saw an oval almost circle with a dozen plus lights that gradually went from bright white to dim yellow as if on battery power, and draining down. There was a flashing dim light on the bottom of this object like a distant airplane. One of those looking through my scope said she could see a person in the middle wearing green. She took a picture through the scope with her cell phone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129355). 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.
