Light over Orrington, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was raucous thunder, and I didn't think anything of it at first, until the sound went away and came back. Then I got worried. I looked out my bedroom window and two crafts were zooming through the sky. They were each formed by two lights: red and yellow. It was a constant light, not blinking or flashing like you see on normal planes. I thought at first a plane was crashing. One craft looked like it was falling rapidly in the air, but then another circled it--not touching, just around it--and then they soared off. This was quick. I reached for my phone to make a video, but it was over in seconds! From when it first woke me, to when they flew off, I'd say it lasted 3 minutes tops.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133284). 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.
