Triangle over Exeter, ME

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I saw this aircraft out my skylight window. It was flying low, shaped like a pyramid or triangle. I was looking at the bottom of the aircraft which was outlined in orange and white lights. I live on a flight pattern for Bangor International Airport which is 25 miles away. My immediate thoughts were it was a military fighter jet of some kind. But I did not see any green or red lights and there was no "jet" sound, even five minutes after it passed. So I am not sure what it was that I saw. A UFO or some sort of military jet.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133310). 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.

Exeter, ME

Tonight, while planting cukes, my son says, "Hey look, Dad! What is that bright light in the sky?" No sound, and no contrail... Then he said, "Hey look, there's another one!" I sent him running for the camera and caught a few pictures of the second one. Not long after that, a jet (with a contrail) could be seen chasing after them. The objects were moving East NorthEast, right at sunset set so there may have been some distortion with the sun's reflection. However, upon zooming in with my 16 megapixel camera, there was no glare. The sun was just below the horizon behind me when I took the pictures. There were no clouds in the sky where these object passed by. The duration was only about 5 minutes. The object must have been a long ways up as the image pixels start to distort the object some when really zoomed in. Before the image gets too distorted, the object's body can be described as horizontally cylindrical and gray metallic color. There are no strobe lights as most aircraft have. The tail section has a bulge on the upper side and the tail wings are attached to the side and top of the cylinder body, like a missile. There is a strange black object on the underside. In one picture, the black object is under the nose, while in another, the black object is under the mid section. It is very hard to say that the object has wings, but there is a different coloration at the mid section of the object. While the rear of the object is in generally good focus so you might say it has tail wings, It is strange that the objects wings at the mid point of the craft are not clear. Photo provided by witness suggests to us an airliner, flying at a low altitude, and in level flight. PD
