Sphere over Walton, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw 3 red/orange glowing objects moving south to north. The first two stopped and then a 3rd one came up behind them. They looked like fire but there was no flickering like fire. Just a steady, bright orange/red light. There was a plane flying from west to east that was in the vicinity at the same time. I'm 50 years old and have never seen any thing like this. They were moving fairly quickly and were not planes, lanterns or balloons. They were less than 5 miles away and did not make a sound. I could only hear the aforementioned airplane and nothing else. Can't explain it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139453). 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.

Walton, NY
I was having dinner and saw the two ufo’s immediately over the mountain across The Valley around Dunk hill. I immediately told my friend about the phenomena, because when I first saw it it was so unusual looking, that I could not mistake it for something else but an ufo. We saw them first coming towards us They probably came around half a mile if our location. When all of us starting to look at the ufo’s they started first going backwards towards the east and then with an incredible speed into the stratosphere that we could only see the fireball faintly, and then disappearing in a second totally. While all this happening there was no sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
