Circle over Bloomingburg, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking my small dog. Looked up at the sky out of boredom, saw a small patch of sky that looked a little lighter than the rest of the sky. Studied it for a second, realized it was around a flashing, moving (side to side and in a circle) blue and red (?) light surrounded by tiny, tiny white lights. Went inside, put away the dog, went back outside, it was still there but higher up. Went back inside, came out again with the dog. Dog wouldn't move from the porch so I left him there to look. The UFO was barely visible. It kept shrinking and shrinking.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132168). 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.
