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.

I awoke to go to the bathroom and in doing so saw a bright white light through a glass sliding door, in the East sky moving North. The object emitted a shower of sparks behind it, almost like sparks from a grinding wheel grinding metal. By the time I got to the slider and opened it, the object had just about went over tree line and out of sight. There was no sound. The night was cloudy and not a single star was visible. The object was too fast to be some sort of plane never mind it would’ve been very loud, and was too slow to be a shooting star, which I’ve seen many in my time. Three and a half months later I’m still searching online to see if there’s been any other reports of what I’ve seen and have since found this database and decided I must make known what I can’t explain.

Picking up some take-out food off of Route 6, Dartmouth, MA, my husband called my attention to this object that had traveled over our heads. The object was large with 5 glowing white lights, shaped like a Jacks (sort of 5 pointed). We pulled up a bit to get a better look, turned around, and it was gone.

I am a photography enthusiast and often photograph landscapes, airplanes, and night scenes. On this night I went to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to capture the library. I was standing on the hill of the amphitheater when I turned to photograph cars passing on Ring Road in front of the wind turbine. I saw a very strong, twinkling spherical light over the woods behind the turbine. I initially dismissed the object for a star, but quickly realized that it was too bright and moving too quickly at much too low an altitude to be a star. Having photographed Chinese lanterns before, I knew that this object could NOT be one, because it lacked the proper light diffusion pattern within the object. The light was also too bright, almost white, and looked solid. There was also a small airplane flying in the vicinity, at a much higher altitude. I walked all the way to the turbine, while attempting to get better photos of the object. I took as short exposures as! possible while also using a tripod. I set the camera on a timed shutter release to prevent motion blur. It made no noise, and had a flight pattern that was almost completely against the wind at the time (very strong winds on the ground that night, I had to hold my tripod). I took several photos and am very unsettled by the lack of an explanation. Zooming in only furthers the mystery and I would like assistance in finding out what this object was. I am emailing the photos for review immediately.
