Unknown over Bangor, ME

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

The report, as filed

I was traveling on Interstate 95 in the southbound lane between exits 191 and 187, when I saw to my right, maybe one hundred feet above the tall trees, a group or cluster of three or four very large bright white tubular lights that were packed together (pointy end toward me) and pulsating in unison at a rate that I estimated to be twice per second. As we approached each other I stared intensely to see if I could make out the aerial vehicle that these lights were attached to, unfortunately I was unable to identify anything but the lights. My cruise control was set on seventy and the light cluster appeared to be traveling toward me at a reasonable speed. When we passed each other I looked in my truck’s side view mirror and was able to detect the object some distance behind me, still pulsating. It is difficult now to say whether the object was traveling in my direction or was stationary. This incident occurred not far from Bangor International Airport (BIA), which is adjacent to a National Guard airbase (Home of the Maniacs). The object made no discernable noise, like a military aircraft does, and was clearly too close to the trees. I’ve lived in this area for thirty-one years and have never once encountered such a thing.

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.

I saw large red flashing lights in the sky heading away from me at a slow rate of speed.I pulled my tuck over and watched it slowly go away from me with a slight turn to the left. Whatever it was it was large Much bigger than I would expect from a plane and the flashing red lights were large also. I could not tell the shape as it was going straight away from me but there was a row of flashing red lights with at least 1 that seemed more out front. I would like to know if anything like this has been reported.

Bangor, ME

A red and orange oval craft dropped from the clouds to about 50 feet above the trees on the Bangor Waterfront. The craft hovered, then descended into the trees. It remained hidden until it reappeared above the trees again. Dogs began barking at it. It dipped into the trees again. I never saw it re-emerge from the trees. It was a red oval with two green circular lights on the front almost like headlights. The craft was the size of a dime held at arms length.

Saw a circular structure in the sky about th size of the tip of a pencil in distance. Blue and green lights flashing. Longhaul trucker from Canada driving south on the I-95. It never moved, when I looked down at my phone and back up, it was gone. It seemed to be suspended in the sky. Too bright for a tower, too low for a plane. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) My apologies. 00:20 is correct. ((END ADDENDUM))

Saw a green streak whiz by over my head, I stood up and pointed to it to show my dad. I caught a better glimpse of it which revealed it to look like fire in a diamond shape. Disappeared above my house. There was no sound.
