Light over Ilion, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog and I always look up at the stars. I saw what I thought was a star moving fro West to East in the Northern Sky. I thought maybe I was seeing a satellite. When the first light was nearly out of sight to the East, I noticed another light coming from the West on the same exact trajectory, maybe a mile behind the first. This happened a total of 7 lights, each about the same distance apart, and looked like at the same height. No blinking of lights, a solid light, no pulsating, no change of color, no noise. Initially I thought an airplane, but no noise, maybe a star, but no twinkle, and moving west to East, another comes, another, another, seven times. There may have been more as I may not have seen the first light. Don’t know what I saw? I tried taking video with my phone but it looks like a blank sky.

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.
