Unknown over Sandown, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was lying in bed playing with my phone before I went to sleep, and the second I shut the phone off, outside my bedroom window coming up over the trees was what appeared to be a craft, I could not make out fhe shape of the body of the craft but this had a cluster of lights, white and then ones that seemed to change with multiple colors slowly pulsing - orange, greens, blues, reds, the lights were flying pretty slowly to the side above my house, it seemed too low for a plane, it was way above the tree tops but seemed low, when I watched it pass overhead, I grabbed my phone and tried to shoot video of it through the window and thats when I noticed what appeared to be the same type of craft flying about a mile or so off in the distance flying the same direction, fairly slow but the camera didnt pick up anything but black. I'll try to enhance it to make sure its not showing up. I'm shaking, I woke my husband up to show him - I have never in my life seen anything like this.

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.

On 5/27/2019 at 11:24 me and a friend were on my back deck in Sandown, NH. The view on my deck is a full tree line from east to west. It was a clear starry night with the North Star almost right in the middle of our view. A little west of due north just above the tree line appeared a really white bright star. I said to my friend “is that moving” and within a few second we realized it was coming right at us from about 5 miles away. I immediately thought to myself that it was a jet airliner considering the speed it was coming at us. I thought it would be cool to get a video of a jet flying extremely low directly over my house if I could be fast enough. So I ran to grab my camera from inside. I was inside for about 15 seconds and returned to see the bright light about 2 miles away. Oddly enough, it was completely silent no engine noise or nothing. Just as the light was about 2 miles away it all of a sudden changed course from roughly straight south to rising into outer space with no hesitation. The light that emitted never blinked, stopped or strobed, it just got brighter as it got closer. It traveled straight up for about 5 seconds when I said to my friend “it’s going to disappear”. Not a split second after that when I finished fumbling with my camera, the object did just that and faded out and was gone. I know this was not a commercial jet, satellite, balloon, drone, etc. The size was big enough that I thought it was a jet. It was brighter than any star right from the get go to only get brighter. It was always the same white light and did not change color. We later seen a couple more unexplainable strange flash bulbs but nothing like what previously happened.

I was looking up at the North East sky at what I thought was a small metior or space debris, way up, like a plane. Went South West. Watched for 30 seconds or so and the i saw, what I thought was a plane, but it wasn't. It had 3 lights facing down, like dull headlights on a car. And a flashing red light, I think in the center. It was following the first smaller craft. I watched it go south west until I couldn't see it anymore.

A very bright, white, round, object passed over my house, from West to East, at 2100 hrs. It appeared to be approx. 3 times bigger than how a large star/planet would appear, and it seemed to be much lower than where most large aircraft would fly, possibly 3 or 4 thousand feet. There was not a contrail. Many airplanes fly overhead, and no matter how high up they are, they can be heard. I could clearly see that there were no wings, no blinking lights, it moved slowly and steadily and was silent. This is the second time I have seen this type of aircraft on this same route. The last time was in October 2016.

Tonight at 10:00 p.m., I went out to look at the stars and immediately saw what appeared to be a satellite moving from south to north. After 5 or 6 seconds it became very bright, then it dimmed and there appeared to be a much dimmer light shoot out from the bottom. A few seconds later it became bright again and a large burst of flame shot out in two directions and then it dimmed again. It moved along for another 6 to 8 seconds, became brighter and there was another burst of flame. It then dimmed and moved further north out of visual range. It looked very much like a satellite if not for the burst of flame and change in brightness. A few moments later, I saw another light, which was clearly a satellite with no bursting flames or changes in brightness.

I was watching the clear night sky other than some distant clouds in the horizon. A jet black beam, shadow, or wave barrels across the sky and disappears. Since this is not a object or something that emits light I have no idea what it could be, potentially a form of Aurora borealis? It raced behind the clouds with a section still to be seen above the clouds speeding through the sky, so it is in outer space or appears that way. I have seen this before in but has been smaller multiple sections following each other, extremely fast and just cut across the sky and disappear. They almost appear as lines like in the parenthesis as a example (I, ll , lll ) but almost fuzzy like a low lit shadow along the edges.
