The report, as filed
The sighting began north of the town’s fairgrounds it was seen from a vehicle heading south on route 3. It lasted about fifteen seconds and consisted of three horizontal white lights. The lights were estimated to be three hundred feet off the ground and moved very quickly. They first appeared for two seconds then disappeared, it reappeared to the south (right) about one hundred to two hundred feet from its original spot. When it reappeared for the fourth time with a second set of lights appearing half of a second later to the right of the first set. We lost sight of the lights in the trees before we came around the corner before the fairgrounds. It was seen for the last time as we came to the clearing of the fairground, by this time it seemed to be at the same height but half to three quarters of a mile away from vehicle, and heading south. No actual shape was seen only lights. 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.

Lancaster, NH
Originally saw one bright round light with two of the same size lights off to the side. Another light appeared to make a triangle shape. The light to the side disappeared and then each of the three also did one at a time. Approximately ten seconds later all three reappeared in a perfect triangle and a black outline could clearly be seen around it. Two other separate lights then appeared off to the left-hand side. The two went out again one at a time and about two seconds later the entire triangle disappeared at once. The lights were all round and white, resembling headlights from a vehicle. They were much lower than an airplane and resembled nothing that I have ever seen except for the picture from the nashua sighting, the picture that was circled. There was no other color except for the extremely bright white lights and the black outline behind the three that formed a triangle(boomerang). The bottom of the triangle was not outlined. In the ten seconds that it took them to reappear they had moved a considerable distance however the formation stayed the same.
