Sphere over Voorheesville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking out of family dinner with my wife, and in this particular town outside the Albany, there is very little light pollution. You are able to see much more of the night sky very clearly, so I always get lost looking when I'm out that way. As I walked outside and looked up, a flash caught my eye that seemed close, like a BRIGHT orb. Just as fast as it flashed, it dimmed out and just looked like another star in the sky, except this started moving north at a very fast pace; faster than you see normal aircraft move. And it was very high, I'd say 50-60,000 feet up. Then as I followed it, it stopped, reversed direction very quickly the way it had come, and disappeared. This isn't the first time I've seen strange craft out that way, but this was the one I could best explain. I'm hoping someone else saw this on that Monday night as well. It's puzzled me because I have a pretty extensive knowledge of aircraft--and this thing did not move like any aircraft we have developed here

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.

A couple of my buddies and I were enjoying the weather and a few beers when my German shepherd started barking, figured it was just a animal in the woods we shrugged it off untill we smelled a foul strange smell. As we look around we all seemed to look up at the same time and we see 3 sets of purple and yellow lights flashing on and off. We stare up at them and as soon as about 20 seconds go by they flashed a real bright red and all took off in 3 separate directions.

When I was sound asleep I was woken up by my 2 year old German shepherd barking like crazy at the window. I figured it was the wind blowing the trees or something but when I looked out I saw 1 circle shape floating in the middlele of our hay field with almost blinding lights I stand up to get a better look and it bursed into 3 diamond shapes and took off in 3 different directions. I was speechless and didn't know what to do but my dog must have woken up my brother because he said he saw the very end of it
