Light over Tuxedo Park, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on the passenger side of the car, family of 4. Husband driving on Interstate 87. He noticed the moving glowing object in the sky. I rolled down the windows to take photos with my phone outside the window and also through the windshield. It travelled across the sky from my right to left. It looked like a white object with a large tail of light coming from it spreading out. It was moving pretty quickly. After I took the photos, I tried to change to the video option. As I was doing that my husband and son said it simply vanished/disappeared. Looking back at the photos there are some other strange lights that we did not see ourselves with the naked eye. The other lights when taking the photo through the windshield is problem simply from the inside car radio, etc. The lights when I took the photos out the window are a mystery. Before I took the photos we did see regular aircraft higher up in the sky. I wonder if they reported it.

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.
