Oval over Biddeford Pool, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The first witness saw a yellow egg shape with red flares going back and forth across the sky. Witness thought it was an airplane, and then second witness saw a red shape that looked like a butterfly type of wing flying forward. Witnesses went outside on the porch and watched craft fly above Saco Bay towards Scarborough. One witness describes it as a red flame. The red color faded as into the distance and then disappeared. Witnesses thought it could be a drone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114483). 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.
