Light over Bethel, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My dog was acting funny like when he wants to go to the bathroom. I opened the door and hear the animals in the farm next door making noises. The dog was smelling around, but he seemed confused. The day was cloudless and somehow there was this shining object and at first I thought it was a plane but there was no noise. All of a sudden the object stopped completely for about 2 seconds. After that, it took a sharp right and sped off. I blink and it was gone. I still cannot believe what I saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122952). 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.
