Light over Syracuse to Phoenix, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving towards fulton on 690, I saw an intense blue/red/white flashing light. I thought it was a plane/sattelite, so I ignored it. I got around baldwinsville and saw it was still in a similiar spot in the sky so I got off 690 and watched it. I appeared to be moving slightly and getting brighter. I sped home and I noticed a similiar if not exactly the same kind of light behind me to the south. I parked on route 48 with my brother and we observed to Northern light getting dimmed but still flashing. The southern light was getting more and more intense. It got very very bright and the northern light vanished. The southern light hovered in place for 15-20 mins and then turned around and got very dim.

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.
