Formation over Brockport, NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It was a long line of twinkling lights falling slightly Northeast toward the ground, far off in the sky. It looked like a crack in the sky at first, but I noticed tiny twinkling lights kind of coming down in a stream. SpaceLink satellites. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146368). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Brockport, NY

Returned home from walking dogs. Nearly pitch black save moonlight from half moon. I was bent over to unleash dogs and a bright light engulfed my surroundings. I thought it might be lightening. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a vertical stream of disturbed air in the western sky, similar to what a plane leaves behind. The stream was much lighter in appearance to the darker surrounding sky and looked like tiny particles. There was no airborne vehicle to be seen. The stream faded quickly within 9 seconds or so, all together. It did not start to fade at one end then the other, but rather the entire anomaly very uniformly. My dogs did not seem to notice the account, especially when they would normally be frightened of lightening and the subsequent thunder.
