A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the night of October/12/2014 at 8:45pm Eastern Standard Time in Raymond, Maine. I was walking outside to get my work cloth out of my car to was and I notice in clouds over a dozen faint oval lights moving very fast and then they would pause in the night skys clouds. I thought they might be spot lights and I decided to call the are local dispatch Cumberland County Sheriffs. They told me they didnt know what the lightswhere but there was nothing on the ground that they could find. I noticed there was nothing shining on the ground or a trail of light shining up from the ground. They would move in a pattern formation and a group of them would start to spin like a ferris wheel and then they would shoot from one side of the clouds to another. What kept getting me was they would stop. The police also told I was the fourth person to call at that point. I called at 9:00pm. The next morning I was running errands and I ran to a neighbor that asked if I had seen them! also. Several people witnessed the event. It lasted over an hour. I have called the local news media twice and I emailed them once. I tried contacting the Maine Air National Guard. I just want to find out whag I shaw in the sky. If you research this the police will confirm that others called dispatch and reported the lights. I just want answers. I tried to record them with my camera on my phone but I wasnt able to pick them up. My father and brother witness them also.

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.

Took place between RAS ALHAGUE and RAS ALGETHI. Bright white flash followed by three smaller lights moving in the shape of a U rather than a straight path like a plane, then disappeared.
