A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It moved ever so slowly up on an angle.I could still see it after about an hour. Then the sun was to bright to see it. I could not make what it look like. It was to far away, but it did have a very bright light. Just moving way to slow for of anything that I know of that would be up there. I was looking at it in the east sky from my garage over head door opening.

Very bright object in the shape of a cross. It does not look like it is moving, but if one was to see it an hour ago, and again now, one would see it did move up some within that time frame. It is very high in the sky, and from the ground it would be about a half inch big. I can not tell if it is making its own light, or if the light I am seeing on it is a reflection from the very bright moon we are having right now. I do not hear any noise from it. It has been in the sky for over an hour. Picture was taken from my front yard, with camera pointing north east. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

It was hovering over my back yard for about 10 mins then it just vanished or maybe just turned off its lights. Had no sound. Interesting video.

Rome, NY
My girlfriend and I were driving back into town from Cook Road, where we were fishing. We noticed red glowing lights in Z formation in the sky sitting in place, not moving not falling, just stationary and made no sound. They seemed to be a burning kind of light, I use the word burning because they also one by one faded out. The size of the formation was significant. Very noticable to anyone who might look up. They were round balls of burning red light the way a star might look but bigger. I'm 5' 11", 240 lbs, 29 years old white long brown hair with a moustache and goatee. My day to day is working under the table taking care of my daughter, fishing, and playing poker. My girl freind is 25 55 130 lbs medium length brown hair also white. She takes care of her son, works at the hospital, and plays poker and fishes with us, as well.
