Triangle over Carmel/Kent, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There were four lights in a straight line all flashing different colors or red, blue, and green. a little bit in front of the line, there was one singular light that pulsated blue. It started moving towards us after two minutes, and started to fly over us. Right before it came over us, it emitted a sound that sounded like a dirt bike engine, then two side lights came on next to the big one. We only saw one light with our eyes, but caught all 5 on camera.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136707). 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.
