Circle over HAMBURG, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright red circle did not show on my cell phone images only visually. On my cell camera images appeared as a white very small circle as if the moon had shrunk to a smaller size. When I looked at the cell camera images I could see a bright red ring around white circle. ALSO a red line appeared through the white circle. As it got to a deeper brighter red IT just VANISHED.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176808). 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.
