Triangle over East Meadow, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had stepped outside to get some fresh air on my deck… as I turn around while looking at the sky, I'm 5 feet from stepping back into my home and I see a large triangular shaped ship move towards the west. As I pause to watch the ship it comes to a stop and stops midair, no noise, no lights. The clouds betray its presence. As I continue staring at it… it starts ascending straight up until I can't see it any longer. However, before it disappeared out of sight, the last thing I saw was what seemed to be atmospheric disturbance; these 3 rib like structures appeared very high in the sky on each side of the ship. It was the most amazing sight and craft I'd ever seen. This was not a jet sized craft… it was huge; as big as a football field. Also, I'm not 100% sure about the date.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176254). 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.

It was two objects that looked like flames at first very very bright coming towards each other... then they diverged in opposite directions and the one going towards my right frame of visions disappeared, the left one remained for a while longer then went straight up and then out in to the distance
