Light over Hornell, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself, son and friend seen an object around 50 to 100 ft from us in the sky. This object was stationary. It was bright white at the top and bright blue at the bottom. I was hoping this was some kind of air show but my research hasn't discovered this. I do have video coverage although it isn't the best phone it still shows a craft to which I've explained.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149951). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

3 orange circular objects came low over the city. First 1 went upward pulsing, then changed shape and color to white, looking flatish, slightly curved, then picked up speed quickly. The other two followed doing the same, forming a triangle. They spend off quickly. I have mul pile pictures fairly clear

I was star gazing at 21:56 and saw a flash of light that looked like something that took off at warp speed (see previous report) 6 minutes later I saw two tall thin shadows that were the same shape and form looked like they were walking towards me from the outside of gate. Mind you, that my back gate is 6-7 feet tall. These shadow creatures where casting a shadow 2-3 feet over my gate. I just seen two outlines of a chest and heading moving towards me. I quickly ran back inside my house. I tried to tell my husband about what saw and he dismissed me (he was inside the house at the time). Saying that they were reflecting of people walking on the dike. I don't think this is possible because the duke stood 400 yards away and is obstructed by rows of houses. I just knew that this scared me and that it took me a long time to calm down afterwards. I think this was a close encounter. All I know is that I didn't want a repeat of this.

I was star gazing and seen a flash of light in Northern sky. It appeared between the big dipped and the northern star. Only lasted a second and flashed like it hyper sped towards the west. The light was a very bright white light.

Very irratic in sky I thought it was a aircraft with a engine fire but the altitude changes made it impossible to be man made. danced around the sky for quite some time before going over horizon in south east sky, very bright

Bright object moving across the sky then stopping and going back the way it came.
