Other over Washington, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This morning around 9:10 AM, a very large object was crossing the sky at a high altitude, floating very quickly from south to north. Object appeared as black and was shaped like a deflated hot air balloon. I looked through binoculars, but still couldn't identify what the object was or how it was being propelled. Winds were SSW 10 MPH around the Becket, MA, Berkshire County area. I was wondering if anyone else saw this thing, other than my wife and I?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115397). 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.
