Other over Lake Placid, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looked up noticed 3 lights in a staight line formation assumed it was a plane as its in the landing path for airport they went out of view due to tree cover. Drove down road a half mile noticed lights appeared again going on then off left to right and as last of 3 lights went out the sky was completely empty nothing there it was a clear blue evening sky so I was expecting to see some sort of object but there was nothing. I live within 4 miles of sighting about 2 hrs later I saw two fighter jets fly over in the night sky while I was outside with my dog.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175019). 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.
