Sphere over South Onondaga/ Onondaga Nation Reservation, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving home from a concert at around 1015 and we saw three bright lights in the sky in a perfect diagonal line around the Onondaga Nation Reservation. We continued to watch as the first orb disappeared, and then the next, and the remaining orb got bigger and brighter, and started to come down lower. We parked the car and we couldn’t take our eyes off of it. One of the passengers in the car got a little bit of film when they were two orbs. Passengers got a little bit nervous and told me to drive away because it seemed to be descending.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176732). 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.
