Circle over Coxsackie, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was sitting on my couch on the phone when I saw a very bright light on the water of the lake in front of the house. The moon would have been behind me at this time not in front of me so I was intrigued. Walked outside and saw an incredible bright light in the sky. I took some pictures and ran inside to get binoculars. After viewing through binoculars you could make out the shape and structure. Bright lights on top and bottom of the circle with a perimeter of smaller lights wrapped around the outside/middle of the craft. The craft was stationary and visible from the western hemisphere for around 15 minutes then took off towards Greenville NY heading west.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175739). 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.

Went outside on the porch to smoke a cigarette looked up into the sky. And there I saw a white flash. Too big for a shooting star. Disappeared into the cloudy sky. I do not do drugs nor a drinker.
