Sphere over Hilton, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was heading North into the village of Hilton and from just past Burritt Rd.(1/2 mile from village) I could see above the village 3 spherical objects. All looked to be the same size. One was higher than the other two and had a reddish hue. The two below were situated offset from one another and we’re a very bright white. As I turned onto my road a top the hill, the highest reddish sphere moved directly up and to the west very rapidly(Lost visual). Then I began to take video via camera-phone and the remaining two objects cruised directly over me (heading south) to the point where I could see the bottom exterior. No defined shape, looked almost wavy. Absolutely no sound. (Camera footage too dark to see, may attempt edit. 8:35 pm
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161182). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

At 2:43 am I let my dog out and thought it was a plane at first. But it started moving in an odd pattern. I have never seen any craft with this pattern. It was a bright white light that may have also shined a red light as well.

Observed a changing light of red, green and white going on and off for a stationary position with erratic movements from time to time but stayed at a heading of due magnetic North all the time. Was seen during the same time that the ISS was passing overhead and upon disappearance of ISS the light also disappeared.

NUFORC received several other reports about what we presume was the same object. Several witnesses emphasized that the object did not look like a meteor, although we suspect the event was caused by a classic meteor. Video footage of the event is posted to the American Meteor Society website. PD

5 miles South of Lake Ontario...I was driving North and saw a very bright yellowish light, I thought it was a plane, but it would have been either very large, or very close. As I was driving North, it kept getting lower and lower and I'm thinking, it's going to either land or crash. As I turned and started heading East, I saw another one...as I was driving about 55, It appeared to be moving to the east also, but that could have been an optical illusion as it was so large. There appeared to be smoke trails following it. I arrived at my destination and walked around the side of the building where another customer approached me and asked if I was ok...I pointed to the sky. We could see 2 of the very large bright lights, and as we watched the surrounding sky was turning different shades of pale red. After I came out of the store and started heading North again, I noticed a group of people in a parking lot watching one and taking pictures. I stopped and asked if we were getting invaded and they were like...maybe...I drove home heading West and saw 2 of them...one got lower and lower and finally went out, but the other appeared to be traveling West. I arrived home and looked North and could one through the trees. I ran inside for my camera, but when I got back it was gone. Walked to the end of the road and the other was gone too. I saw this at 12:45 am - 1:10 am.
