Changing over Brooklyn, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 10:11 pm on October 22, 2022, I happen to see what appeared to be a light in the sky. I live close to JFK airport and see planes in the sky constantly. The way this light went in and out immediately looked different to me. I grabbed my phone and started to record the video. That’s when I noticed a second light in the sky. Afraid that I would lose the first light behind a tree, I panned to the second light, zoomed in, and recorded for a bit. Then I stopped the recording to take a picture. I zoomed in as much as possible before taking the picture. I was going to continue to record the video but then it was gone. When I looked back at the picture, it looked nothing like the video. I edited the color and contrast on the video to try to make sense of the picture. After the edit, I watched it frame by frame. I’m unsure if it’s an object, an entity, technology beyond our comprehension, energy, or what religion calls “god”. I have a feeling this organization knows exactly what this is. If you do, please enlighten me. Just to note, the noise you hear in the background is my air conditioner. Also, I opened my window and screen. Nothing is obstructing my view when recording. I have seen this from my home before in 2013. This footage was recorded from the back of my house. In 2013 I saw this from the front porch. Back then I saw 4-5 separate lights but it’s identical to what you see here. I took a video then too but the quality isn’t great. Please excuse my language at the end of the video. A little background about me: I don’t have a mental illness, I don’t take medication or recreational drugs. On occasion, I have a glass of wine but not last night. I am a graphic designer, mainly in print design. I do know how to edit videos but I did not edit this. This is raw footage and the picture is authentic. I’m a mom of a special needs child who currently is not in school. I don’t have the energy or the time to make fake videos. I don’t even have time for self-care. I did not upload the edited video ( color and contrast only). If you would like that please let me know. P.S. you have a typo in the instructions under Part 2-What did you see? “identity will no” should be “identity will not”.

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.

My son aged 10 told me he saw lights in the night sky that he’d never seen before. I was in the shower and my wife was working in the other room. I came out and saw these orange lights. I hadn’t seen these lights before either. We called my wife in who also observed them. We watched them until they all floated into the clouds and vanished. My son theorized they were Chinese lanterns. Perhaps they were, but I felt it couldn’t hurt to alert someone to their presence. Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this. PS I have video but the file size was too large so I put some screen grabs for you to see. There was a screen in front of the camera lens but I opened the screen for the end of the video.

"My wife and I were on our rooftop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, when my wife noticed a string of lights high in the sky, moving rapidly. I exclaimed, "Wow, I think that's Starlink!" I quickly reached for my Sky Guide app and opened it, but to my surprise, Starlink did not appear on the app. Just as the lights passed directly over our heads, they began to vanish one by one, disappearing into the night sky, very near the star Rastaban. Intrigued, I immediately went downstairs and checked the Starlink tracker, only to find that Starlink satellites were nowhere near this part of the planet at that time." Even though Sky Guide and the Starlink Tracker did not indicate anything, this sounds very much like Starlink. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Looking out of my window in Williamsburg late at night, I saw what appeared like a bright red star in the sky, possibly a laser beam. It was there for hours. Two nights later I saw it in a different spot and then again a few days later.
