Other over Cayuta, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting on the side of the highway for a ride from a friend. It was a cloudy dreary day and I look up and see something huge slowly moving between the clouds. I couldn't make out what shape it was but it was longer than it was wide. Similar to a football field. It was almost the same color as a rain cloud. The craft ended up over Connecticut hill towards Watkins Glen, NY.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174208). 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.
