Cigar over E. Parsonsfield, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We watched it go straight down into the hills looking to the west. The second was smaller, stayed to the right of the 1st object, This was with orange light/lights, shape indistinguishable. Attention was on the larger object and did not see where the orange object went. They were high enough so we thought they were airplanes/then maybe satellites originally. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126905). 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.
