Unknown over HAMBURG NY, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I observed a strange vehicle flying around 1000-2000 feet. It flew away from me towards the northeast, but the lights it flashed pointed towards me. The lights resembled car headlights flashing its high beams. I have it on video, why would its lights flash at me, if it were flying away?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170321). 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.
