Unknown over Bernardston, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At dusk, image perceived as aircraft was slow-moving - hovering at times - seen first from automobile while driving. Later seen after egress from automobile. Array of blinking white lights in an arc. Near Exit 28 on Route 91 (observer was in northbound lane), size difficult to judge in dim light, sound (if any) unable to be heard while driving, nothing heard after stopping and exiting from vehicle. Seemed unusual because of apparent very low height from ground,and brightness of lights. Other automobiles stopped at scene, but no attempt was made to communicate with other drivers to ask if they had seen object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112577). 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.
