Circle over Nissequogue, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on the beach with one of my best friends watching the stars and all of the sudden we saw this giant circle with a ton of white lights show up out of nowhere, we still believe it came up out of the Long Island Sound right in front of Port Jefferson NY. It flew away quite fast and looked like it was headed towards Montauk. About 5 minutes after we lost sight of it we saw a military jet fly over head at the fastest speed I’ve ever seen a plane fly. We ran back to my house to tell my family what we just saw and they didn’t believe us at first, up until they saw the short video clip we were able to record.

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.
