Teardrop over Clements, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Relaxing on deck when we noticed five solid white bright lights heading North to South. Each approximately 3-4 minutes apart. Each light disappeared completely in approximately the same area. After these sightings we saw a dim Teardrop object heading straight up! It Flashed so brightly it was almost blinding and disappeared. My roommate said "That's what I've been talking about!" As he had seen the same thing twice before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113293). 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.
