Unknown over Akron, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Awoke 5:35 a.m., hearing noise/soft pattern lights outside, thru west-open window, like loud mass of insects- buzzing, and my 9yr. grandson got up from same on 2nd floor and saw unknown object a few seconds (much to describe).
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142593). 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.

When the object was high in the sky it looked like a red ball of light. When the object dropped from the sky and came closer to ground i visibly seen an object that was narrow at the top and got wider at the middle and at the objects base. There were bright red lights from top to bottom all around this object. Im not exactly sure how far away this object was from my backyard but i do know it came straight down from the sky and was in the north east. I looked up what wheather balloons look like and what military craft look like and this object was not like any of that. I was in shock when i seen that this thing was some sort of an actual object and not a shooting star or meteor. This is the first time i have ever witnessed something like this in the night sky descending toward earth. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
