Light over Bridgehampton, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from up the island and as I was making a left onto scuttle hole road when I noticed 3 bright white lights in a triangle pattern (1 light at each corner of the triangle but no visible craft was seen, just the lights) and as I made the left on to scuttle hole road I tracked the lights heading NW at an accelerated rate. The three lights then became four lights and the lights were all of a sudden lined up next to each other but not in a straight line. You could tell that each light was an individual object at this point. As I traveled North on scuttle hole road I lost track of the lights as they headed into the clouds. The hole experience lasted about 20 seconds. Im sure other people on the highway saw the lights as well as they seemed too bright and too low to the ground to be an airplane of sorts.

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.
