Teardrop over West Newbury, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a slow moving procession of orange fireball looking teardrop/round shaped objects moving from east to west then turning north. All followed the same path, held the same formation and were moving at the same speed. There was a cluster of about a dozen at the begin then 4 more single then 3 more close together in the final cluster. They seemed to by flying at the elevation that a small plane would fly at (4 or 5 thousand feet?) No noise or engine sounds were audible. No blinking lights or spot light were visible, just glowing orange and appeared to be flicking. My wife and I watched for approximately 10 minutes. A couple of cars passing by slowed down and appeared to see them as well. I took pictures and a video on my phone but the objects are very faint.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126568). 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.

My friends and I moved towards where my friend thought he saw the saucer land. We spent about 20 minutes looking until we found it. The Saucer was about 10ft by 10ft and was like a Frisbee almost. It landed in an awkward position, revealing kind of on its side. We were all freaking out at this point and did not have any idea what we were looking at. We spent only a short amount of time looking at the crashed saucer because a hatch opened at the bottom revealing a creature that was most definitely NOT HUMAN. We all saw the creature or alien reveal itself and ran as fast as we possibly could. We all got in my car and drove away talking about what we just saw. We came to a consensus that the creature looked like Yoda from star wars just without the pointy ears. I swear this is a true story and I have friends that saw the same thing as me.
