Light over Waterville, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home tonight to a huge full moon to my left, in the sky in front of me appeared a very bright green light streaking across the sky faster than any craft I have ever seen. The lights were not blinking like they do on a normal aircraft. This light traveled for a second or two in one direction and then suddenly, without warning, changes directions and travels straight up towards the stars and gets smaller and smaller until it vanishes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129989). 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.

Saw circular object glowing a few thousand feet above our house. Grabbed my telephoto lense and shot the attached picture. Object continued to rise. To the naked eye I thought it may be a hot air balloon, but it was extremely high and it was getting dark out. Once I took the picture, I was able to zoom in and see that it didn’t resemble a hot air balloon. After about 20 minutes it was too high to see.

Noticed two lights at approximately 30000ft. one above the other red and white in the east sky at an elevation of approximately 20° above the horizon. The lights made small circles and then moved horizontally in a zigzag pattern and then at a slight angle of maybe 30° going towards the north east direction and then rested at a possible 40° elevation above the horizon.
