Light over bronx, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Star like extreme bright light was seen for about 20 minutes , was not moving and near a smoke stack in The Bronx . I was checking on it periodically, at first I thought it was a plane , but when I noticed it wasn't moving it caught my attention. The brightness made me think it was a star, but it was way too low. I didn't see it leave but after 20 minutes it was no longer there.

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.
