Disk over Waterford, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
East of Route 32, we saw a pulsating orange/yellow light in the night sky traveling westbound. As we pulled the car off the road and exited onto the gravel, the craft moved and then stopped, continuing to pulsate, then it moved slowly eastward, disappearing behind a tree. When I walked over to where I could see around the tree, it had totally disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135906). 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.

Appearing to be a star A bright light started moving among the nearby stars. moving at speeds and angles not from this earth. It would move across the sky then disappear and reappear on the opposite side of the sky. I have this on video and would like to share. i was watching for over an hour on my back deck. was a great show for sure.
