Light over Warner, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 9:53 am EST on January 17th, 2017, I was traveling north bound on Interstate 89 in New Hampshire driving a vehicle. My boss was riding in the passenger side of the car and also witnessed the event. A bright light of white or silver light was traveling directly down from its trajectory extremely fast. This wasn't falling like an object dropped from the sky and wasn't on fire like a meteor typically would be from my experience. My boss also acknowledged what we had seen. The type of light it projected or reflected was bright white or silver white light. Unfortunately I was in a company car and not my own so my dash cam was not with me. The distance from the event was close and it wasn't very high in the sky. For instance this wasn't thousands of feet in the sky. It appeared to be within 2 or 3 miles at the most from where we were. There was no contrail or smoke. No sign of the object after it left the field of view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132209). 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.
