Cigar over Larchmont, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went outside at approximately 4:05 this morning and while I know that this is a busy area for plane I quickly noticed that the light from the “plane” wasn’t flashing as I normally see. I stood there for a moment and watched this long, well lit, object was clearly no plain at all. My phone was just inside the door so I went inside for litterly seconds only to return and it was completely gone. Amazing experience for me personally. We have corrected the time indicated above. PD

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.
