Light over Athol, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Watched what I thought was an airplane traveling at about what a normal plane might look like in the sky but had no flashing lights. Continued to watch object as it was traveling across the sky in a slightly upward direction eventually fading dimmer until it blacked out as if it left the atmosphere. If the time indicated by the witness is accurate, the object could not have been the ISS, which had been visible from Athol, Massachusetts, an hour earlier. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127824). 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.
