Triangle over Benson, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Noticed an object hovering in the sky with a white headlight and flickering red and green lights to each side. Upon closer look with binoculars I could see a triangular outline. It hovered and then moved a little up and down. There were two of us observing this. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131221). 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.

I was driving to work and noticed a green light flash in the sky as I came up a hill before Lake rd turn, it flashed twice and appeared to be on the "nose" of a large diamond-esque shaped dark craft that was very low in the sky, much lower than a small plane would fly, it was maybe 10-15 seconds and it just vanished. It didn't propel forward, up, or down, just vanished. There was an 18-wheel truck headed north at the same time that braked heavily at the same time I did but then proceeded on. I slowly turned onto Lake Rd but didn't notice anything else.

I saw these out in the distance. I see a dark floater to my right and they make way over my house. I go outside and listen and hear nothing. Out in the distance, I see an orange glow. Way out in farm land. I assume must be a big fire maybe embers from it. Then it rises and floats over my house I recorded it bad footage but got it and you can see it pass a start as it moves, then gone.
