Oval over Wakefield, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I live alone in a city that is twenty miles north of Boston. I have easily observer a singular bright light in the north west sky. At first it was not note worthy however it is there EVERY night and follows the same curve shaped decent as it slowly sinks into the horizon. What seems strange to me is the consistency of this object and the total lack of any other night lights, who knows, just saying......?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141576). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Triangle shaped craft, with solid white lights in each corner, flying below cloud level. At a distance sounds like a low plane but as it got closer it became much more high-pitched than any plane I've ever heard. Flew over my house going North while I was outside in a hot tub by myself. My dog who was inside was and started barking at the same time. Flew in a straight path. Weather was thick, low cloud cover, very fine light snow, low wind, 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

It could have been circular or square but not in the least similar to the shape of a plane. We both noticed it at the same time that's why it was so weird. It snuffed out and completely disappeared from the sky after about 10 seconds.

While outside on my porch smoking a cigarette and speaking with a friend on the phone when I noticed what appeared to be a meteor moving South to North around 3000 feet in the air. As it moved closer I noticed no sound and about six orange lights below the object. I was taken aback when it moved sideways briefly then returned to its northern movement always keeping the same height from what I could observe. As it slowly passed overhead I was able to stare directly up at it and I've never seen anything of the sort in my life.

I walked out of my house to take out the trash, and I saw a large, brightly illuminated white circle just above a tree across the street. It then immediately dipped behind the tree and I couldn't see it any more. Many planes go over my neighborhood on their way to and from Logan, so I know it wasn't a plane. It was much too large and amorphous to have been a plane,traveled too fast, and dipped very quickly straight down. I knew I had seen something inexplicable, and I am a keen observer of the skies. I have never seen anything like this before, and my heart was pounding with fear.

Cylinder shaped object flying in a North-Easterly direction, at speed similar to commercial aircraft. Definitely not a plane or helicopter. Single, Silver object, observed by father and daughter, both Public Accountants. We were only able to see object for approximately 30 seconds before view was obstructed by trees.
