Circle over Milbury, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While waiting for fireworks to start, my wife and I were sitting on bleachers. I noticed in the sky a red round object hovering above us. It moved slowly to different positions in the sky and then just stayed still. Another one appeared slowly moving toward the other. They were in the sky for a long time then one moved away till it was gone from sight. After the fireworks the other was not to be seen.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137291). 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.
