As reported

Triangle over Fairfield, OH

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Saw a ‘V’ shaped lights move from one side of the sky to the other in under 6 seconds. We live in plane and helicopter fly zone so are used to seeing them. My wife spotted the ‘V’ shape moving from a section of the sky behind me to the north east. As I turned I spotted what appear to be a ‘V’ of lights either very low or very large. Didn’t think anything of it until I noticed it was moving faster than any plane, helicopter, or flock of birds that I have ever seen. Totally silent, moving north east to south west across the city. When I first saw it in the mid sky, within 4 seconds, it had flown over the city and into the clouds on the horizon. Something that would have taken any known source a minute or more to accomplish, this it did in just over a few seconds. The craft was larger than the ‘V’ of lights but we couldn’t make out the actual shape in the dark. Only noting the few stars shining over the city lights disappearing behind it as it passed. The ‘V’ reminded me of a flock of geese but no way could geese move that fast over that distance. They wouldn’t block out the stars as they passed either. Can’t explain it or identify it, so can only say it was an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
