Chevron over Northport, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
First I saw a strange glowing red light it came close to my vehicle. It could have been a small helicopter. Then a few minutes later I saw a octagon shape, like a sphere gliding towards Catherine street. It looked flat and solider the body was dark. It did not appear to be commercial airline type. It was a bigger object than the first. It had lights that were red no windows It looked like a military jet flat, octagon, dark. Flying low near the top of trees . I forgot the date after seeing it. I am not sure of the shape other than the unlisted octagon. The first small craft appeared to change shape. I thought maybe a spy plane.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174199). 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.

I have 5 photos of three unexplained single separate small lights in my yard that faces woods. There was alot of unexplained, and never seen before, light, and an unusually long sunset. I walked my dog an hour later after sundown and saw a round silent yellow orb about 7 feet wide glide gracefully and somewhat slowly across the distance near the woods where the small lights were earlier. I have never in my long life seen anything like it.
