Egg over Calverton, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed this while post-editing long exposure images from early Wednesday morning, December 14, 2022 of the Geminid meteor shower. These are definitley not meteors. There are five (5) distinct trails, none of which travel in a straight line. Not sure exactly what I captured here, but I have shot thousands of milky way/night sky long-exposure images and have never seen anything quite like this. GPS from area are 40°54'17.064" N 72°48'55.716" W. Facing WSW. I have included three (3) images. An unedited JPG, a color corrected JPG, the original RAW file, and a map from Google of the area we were photographing from. Your site won't let me upload the RAW file.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173447). 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.
