Triangle over Gardner, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Going down the rd, I saw mysterious lights (thinking it was lights from a business parking lot or something). I got closer to the object and noticed it was rather low to the ground. So I pulled over and it was moving very slow. Then suddenly it cut to the left very fast. Then started moving slow again for about 30 seconds. Then it suddenly took off so fast like lightning. I could only see 3 lights in the shape of a triangle. No blinking lights or anything. And they were very bright.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123434). 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.
