Light over winter harbor, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It’s 9:20p.m. A bright light blue light was coming over the ocean towards Scoodic Point. The light seemed to pause over one spot just behind an island. At first I thought it was a boat steaming in, but then the light jumped up, did a zig-zag, and went back to where it had been hovering. The light was shining around a spot that seemed to be in an area approximately the length of a football field. The light was still stationary went I went back inside at about 9:40p.m.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132915). 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.
