Other over Norwich/Thetford, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 7pm driving north up I-91 approaching Norwich exit, first one very bright gold/yellowish light appears then fades as another appears then fades away. To the left another of the same kind of very bright light appears..there were three total and kept appearing then fading away for maybe 30 seconds total. Few minutes later driving north on Rt 5 Thetford looking left into sky over field, same lights no particular pattern but very bright, appear then fade. Slowed car to really look, window down, couldnt see anything and there was no sound. Minute late, what looked like a series of military heat flares dropped down in succession, transponder lights off in distance heading north.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125372). 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.
