Circle over Lido Beach, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 10/11/16 I was driving on the Meadow Brook parkway heading south and noticed a large white round object above the sun. I was heading West at the time. I got off the Meadow brook parkway and onto the Loop Parkway heading South West. Approximately 8 minutes after I spotted the object, I started to see addition round white objects (around 30) in the sky as well. These objects were smaller than the original one and some appeared to be moving. I was driving approximately 60 miles per hour at that time. Some looked like they were heading into the larger object. A few minutes later, I got off the parkway onto Lido Boulevard and noticed that all the objects disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130945). 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.
