Light over Manorville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We also considered a spotlight, but because of the location of the light (appearing above the clouds) we had skepticism of a spotlight or searchlight. At times, the light appeared blue and red as it trailed across the sky. As this unfolded, we pulled over to witness the light for two minutes and could not determine the source or nature of the light. There were two of us on this night. The weather was overcast and cool (65°F-70°F).
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164450). 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.
