Circle over Fairfield, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night, I went out on my back porch and was looking at the sky not even 5 minutes when I saw the first 'moving star' of the evening. I saw 4 more in the hour and a half I sat out there before the sky got too cloudy to see anything.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128563). 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.

The object looked like a star to the human eye but when i say it move a huge distance in a split second i looked at it with binoculars and was shocked to see what i saw. One light in the center, the brightest then 4 on each side like a plus sign with each light away from the center one getting dimmer then the next. All i have to take pics is my iPhone and of course it will not zoom that far.

Then we saw 2 more black, circular dots just appear out of nowhere and head in the exact same direction and disappear in the very same cloud!! These two were not shining any lights that we could see. I have been seeing these strange 'moving stars,' beginning last week. I saw 6 last night in less than an hour and a half. In cloudy light polluted sky.
