Oval over Holden, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was 10:45 pm on August 16, 2014 - a quite Saturday night. I had just let my dog in from going to do her business in the back yard. It was a mostly overcast and cool night outside. I was still outside and was enjoying a cigar.. I was standing on my back deck which faces eastward. It was dark outside and very quite. A bright golden or deep yellow oval shape light went overhead traveling eastward (I know it is east because the sun rises from this same vantage point in the mornings into my kitchen).... I don't know how high the light was because of the spotty cloud cover but it was traveling slowly - maybe 20mph - 30mph ?...but made no sound and I mean NO SOUND at all.....I was thinking what the hell was that when the 2nd one went overhead in the exact path as the first....and perhaps 10 sec later a 3rd in the same line.....by now I was a little scared and was waiting to see if a forth light came but none did.... The oval lights (all three of them) were the size of a basket ball but without know how high up they were it doesn't really help I know. I have never seen anything like this and was a little shaken by the sighting. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

11:57 pm- took my dog out to do his business in our front yard. He went to the edge of our property, a rock wall about four feet above the road, he stopped and was looking up at the sky facing South. This caught my attention and I looked at the same area. Within one to two seconds, a glowing, completely silent object appeared, it looked to be 500 feet or less above ground, moving quickly from South to North. It was in view for approximately 10 seconds, and couldn't be seen, after going behind trees. It was kind of egg/ walnut shaped, yellow-whitish glow, moving about 200 mph, completely silent. I know most, if not all, man made aircraft, and this is not something common, nor known to be in use by any military. I am an aviation/history enthusiast. The shape was close to the craft in the movie, "Flight of the Navigator." It absolutely WAS NOT a meteor or anything from nature.

The vehicle looked like a "flying car" with three large bright headlights flew slowly without sound and at tree top level.
