Light over Elmsford, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving on the Taconic State Parkway in Westchester County, New York. I noticed an unnaturally bright purple/blue light/glow in the sky on my left which I guess must have been coming from the West since I was northbound. I recorded with my phone as best I could since I was driving but even before I watched the video, I could tell that it wasn’t coming from a light source on the ground. I eventually lost sight of it so I assume it took off during the moments in which the sky was blocked by trees or buildings

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.
