Disk over NNW of Lake George Village, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were vacationing in Lake George Village on August 19, 2022. We went out at night to wait for a fireworks display planned on the lake. It was dark and very clear this night. I looked north west and could see a bright pulsating disc about 75 to 100 feet wide hovering stationary over a rock mountain that is uninhabited and very difficult to get to. When viewed through my binoculars the lights appeared stationary. Without binoculars it appeared the lights were moving in a circle on the outside of the disk in opposite directions. My wife also witnessed this along with about 4 other people that we did not know passing by. This lasted about 30 mins before it just dissapeared. I am a US Coast Guard Captain of 7 years and have never seen anything like this l, nor can I explain it. I felt the need to report this.

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.
