Cigar over Cornwallville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving alone at 5:47am on Route 23 heading east by Conwalleville Ny , straight ahead of me in a clear sky , a am approximately 30 ft cigar shaped object flashed across the road heading north towards Durham NY . The object was just over the tree line and the speed was incredible. It was travelling way to fast for a plane , helicopter or a drone plus it was silent. Just a long cigar flash of light and it was gone. I tried to find a clearing to my left to see if I could see or hear something but there was nothing . That's my story and I'll swear by it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164581). 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.
