Light over Yonkers (Westchester Co.), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Traveling southbound on the Saw Mill River Parkway in southern Westchester County (in, or in the vicinity of, the city of Yonkers), New York, I saw a small green light, POSSIBLY on a saucer shaped object, zip quickly across the sky. It was rather fast - much faster than a plane but maybe not as fast as a shooting star. The green light was the eye catching feature… and the speed. I believe it was traveling east to west.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165236). 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.
