Oval over Sanborn, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving down a busy straight road when all of a sudden it looked like a white light shot straight up into the sky on my left hand side. So i pulled over and my girlfriend and I could see 3 orbs moving around as if they were dancing or chasing each other. This went on for about 10 minutes until slowly the moved location went higher up in the sky and seemed like they drifted away.

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.
