Teardrop over West Stockbridge, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Seen from Marian Shrine in Stockbridge, MA, looking towards West Stockbridge, MA. Upside down teardrop dropping great speed, moving straight down to earth, extremely fast, under half a hand of Saturn. Glaring pure bright white, brighter than any terrestrial aircraft, a blaze of white, brighter than a full moon in telescope eyepiece, had width of 1 finger, not small, not a meteor as it moved straight down towards earth 1 inch lower from planet.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121257). 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.
