Disk over Honeoye Falls, NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

This was slow moving slower than an airplane and at first it looked like it had a trail of smoke like an airplane would have but it made no sound. This appeared to be like a orangish light moving slowly across the sky. Because it acted differently I took some pictures and watched it intently. The smoke trail faded away leaving just the light which continued to move very slowly. For approximately 3 minutes I watched it and it slowly faded away until there was nothing. Just yesterday I zoomed in on the images I did with my phone and there is an obvious saucer shape that can be seen. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174211). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Honeoye Falls, NY

Driving home, I very clearly saw a huge, BRIGHT green circle fly through the sky at a high rate and promptly disappear in the distance. It lit up the sky in its vicinity with a very bright green color, very distinguishable from comets or shooting stars. the circle was about half the size of a full moon. I saw it very clearly for about 3 seconds.
