Circle over Topsham, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were standing outside, looking at the stars and discussing inter-dimensional beings. My boyfriend was saying how sometimes, when thinking about projecting energy into space, it increases the probability of a sighting. As I look up, I notice a light moving across the sky quickly, with no blinking lights. My boyfriend said the only thing that would move similarly would be a drone, but the object was too high up to be one. As we watched, the craft seemed to vibrate intensely for a moment before slightly changing direction and becoming further away and dimmer. We continued to look after it was out of our sight and then went inside.

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.
