Circle over Sheridan, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were traveling from Buffalo to Jamestown and we seen a huge circle of lights with 4or 6 lights in the middle going back and forth side to side like an event light in the sky. That’s what we though it was at first until it didn’t move in a mechanic consistent motion like normal and started to keep traveling in the name direction as us. There was a car ahead of a semi in front of us that even pulled over to look. We knew it wasn’t normal when it kept along the same path as us for at least 8 miles then shifted direction. If we were going south it went west and was gone out of sight, fast.

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.
