Light over Sloan, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Since the summer we thought they were stars but we noticed they move and change size shape and color and look like they are hovering lower to the ground. When you zoom in they spark, change shape and color and hover in the sky and they move along the sky like how stars move over the night period. But they look different.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174197). 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.
