Oval over Chester, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Next thing, we saw it hover low to the ground in our yard, then sped off. My daughter and I were terrified. My son, not so much.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132127). 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.

Was looking at the jetliner then a bright shape took my attention and the other persons too. It was like traveling against the wind maybe, it looked like it was expanding maybe it was the effects of my camera but it was just no sighting of propulsion or anything that can explain how it flies. There was an aircraft flying when this happened then no other airplanes flying afterwards. Approx direction is attached.

Approx. 12:30 am. Large bright light hovering. Moved back an forth several times. Then vanished with extreme speed. I was in my bedroom looking out my window. My son was outside. We finally spoke of the event on 08/25. We witnessed the exact same large bright light.
