Triangle over Cincinnatus, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On October seventh 2021, myself and one of my friends witnessed a triangular shaped craft or potentially three individual craft in formation. However; we believe it was one triangular shaped craft. The weather was completely clear the stars fully visible. At first, I simply noticed a distinct triangle shape in the stars. After looking at it for just a couple seconds, all three points of the triangle started moving as if orienting vertically on one side from what was previously a flat or bottom-up view of the triangle. It was as if we could see through it or like it was distorting the star field above it, like a form of active camouflage. Once it had shifted its orientation, it seemingly became a bright orange ball of light that moved. we visually tracked it as it seemed to descend almost as if around the curvature of the earth moving below the line of horizon. I attempted to take a video, given the experience only lasted less than 30 seconds, it turned out to be poor quality. Still though I’d like a professional to examine the footage as it was a genuine experience, you can clearly hear our excitement and confusion into what we just saw.

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.
