Light over Enfield (Southwood Acres), CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 11:00 PM, me and my friend looked up and noticed a very bright object hovering at high altitudes in the airspace. At first, we thought it was a star, but after looking at it for about 20 minutes we noticed the UFO was flashing, and very, very slowly moving across the sky. The UFO had not left our sight until around 1:30 AM, when we noticed the object had disappeared out of the sky completely. From about 11:00 PM - 1:30 PM, the UFO was just SLOWLY moving across the sky, until it disappeared from sight. It was torturous to see, because I'll never know why the object was slowly hovering over my hometown for HOURS. Maybe it was moving so slow to avoid detection by us humans, well, that's the only explanation I have for it. Twinkling star, we wonder? PD

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.
