Formation over Becker’s Corner, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Coming down New York State Thruway I-87 South, I saw a clump of about 15-20 bright lights no more than 100’ off the ground. Created a rugged circle/octagon shape, size of a typical aircraft. At first I thought it was a low flying plane, however, it never moved as I got closer. When I drove by the lights, they no longer were in a circular clump. The lights formed more of a rectangular shape and there was about half as many as I saw from a distance. They were bright white lights. No color to them. When I drove by, I could almost see the shadow of the object. Looked irregular shaped.

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.
