Cylinder over Ballston Lake, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog and looked up, a "tic-tac" white craft was floating southwest of my location, completely silent. It looked as if there might have been windows? I grabbed my phone quick to record it as it was floating away from my location, however the sun was very bright at this time so I had a hard time seeing the screen, but DID record the location of the craft. When I returned home there was absolutely NOTHING recorded but an empty sky and I am completely baffled. I know what I saw and it was definitely there.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145719). 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.
