Light over New York City (Queens)(Hollis), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At a eastern view in the night sky about 10pm on 7/4/2017. These 4 orange lights of gradual movements of 10 degrees than disappears, they appeared very high above flying aircraft region ceil. Then, I called Walter (17 years old) neighbor over to see, if saw he same. He concurred. They were seen by me for maybe 30 seconds. The night sky were clear. If I had to guess, they were 100,000 feet above the earth.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134952). 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.
