Formation over Bethpage, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Smoking cigar on my terrace, noticed a large number initially (10+) of bright orange dots rising from the horizon to the south/southwest in small clusters, eventually fading from view. Additional clusters of these lights rose from the horizon every few minutes for the next half hour or so. They seemed to be quite a distance away from my position. Took 2 pictures with my Samsung phone, also 2 videos, video quality very noisy.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141806). 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.

Object or objects heading east over Long Island.slowed then stopped and emitted sparks twice. I was heading west on the southern side of former site of Grumman Areospace. Lost sight of objects behind tree line. Objects were Bright white. Could not tell if it was one or two. One side of light was smaller,or another object. Full moon to my left at 10 o'clock, objects on my right about the same altitude. Scattered clouds at different levels. Heading West on Central Ave. towards Hicksville Rd. Go to Google Earth. Search Grumman Aerospace, Bethage, NY. See the roads and directions. Bye Thanks

As I walked outside to go to work I looked up to the South sky and saw a round white light traveling east. The light was bright and round but wider in the center traveling in an S like pattern and then suddenly disappeared. It appeared faster than a typical airplane and the sudden change of direction is inconsistent with a small meteor. The day was a cold, clear with no rain, early morning still semi dark with a clear view of the sky. Object would have been over the water on the south shore of Long Island.
