Disk over Fishkill (on I-84, eastbound; just past), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object seen was a very large disk or saucer shaped object with yellow and red lights blinking and appearing to rotate around perimeter. It was spotted while driving eastbound on I-84, just past Fishkill (a bit beyond the prison, I think). Object appeared to be slowly moving toward us, then at one point it stopped and hovered. Hard to tell as we were in a car driving, but no unusual sound was noticed when we opened the window to get a better look at it. I was dropping a friend off at the Southeast train station; on the way back, I saw it again, but it appeared to vanish quickly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144070). 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.
