Light over Vernon, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two objects(lights) were noticed after they had passed overhead. These objects produced no sound and there was no beacon as with normal aircraft. These objects were moving away from us and the intensity of the light didn't seem to change. Therefore, I am discounting landing lights as the source of illumination. I am unable to estimate height and speed due to darkness but it took less than one minute for these 2 objects to go from overhead to beyond the visible horizon. Also, as they moved away, they seemed to change position in relation to each other as if they were in a race.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135235). 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.
