Cylinder over Saranac Lake, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object spotted traveling from S to N. The video was taken from Eagle Island Campsite on Saranac lake, facing SE. The object passed us at 8:42 PM 04/03/2022 and appeared to be passing over the town of Saranac Lake at 8:43 PM, 04/03/2022 The object looked like a cylinder with rounded ends and no wings. Primarily white, with a dark spot on the side. At first I thought the dark part of the side of the object that can be seen in the video was a wing but as it moved away you could see that there was no wings protruding from the side of the object, or the top of the object. This object did not make any noise, it did not have any flashing lights that would be seen on any legal aircraft or civilian drone, nor did the object have any visible exhaust. We were able to both hear and see planes that were flying farther and higher than the object was that evening, but this object went by without a sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170260). 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.
