Light over VT (30 minutes from Quebec border), VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home with family in left lane, in pitch black mountains, noticed what looked to be an approaching MOTORCYCLE HEADLIGHT in rear view. It grew larger and larger REAL fast. Thinking it was suddenly right on us, i switched lanes. But no motorcycle or any vehicle ever passed us? And nothing was in my rear view? Very very weird. There were no other vehicles on the road, nothing. My wife was freaked out too. We continued driving, not sure about what just happened? 5 minutes later, the “headlight” was again gaining on us, real fast. Again, I switched lanes, AGAIN the “light” just vanished? No sound, no vehicle... nothing? HAS ANYONE ELSE Experienced this strange, unnerving experience? Real spooky, yet at the same time, very cool?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142897). 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.
