Unknown over Onchiota, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a light reflection on my windshield, thought it was from dash, but driving on for a minute, realized that it could not be. I decided to look up and nothing, then decided to lean forward and look up and saw a ufo above my car with red, blue, green and white lights (bright in nature). After looking up at it, it moved to my left above tree line, parallel to me at same speed as I was going. At that time I opened my window and there was no noise from craft. The road curved, it followed a straight line and I lost sight of it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133982). 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.
