Circle over PORT WASHINGTON, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was laying in bed and heard a swirling hovering sound that was not familiar to me. I looked out the window, and I saw a swirling object moving very very quickly and it look like it did not have a pattern. I took up my phone and started recording in the blink of an eye disappeared upwards. I had never seen anything like that before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171949). 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.
