Diamond over Orono, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
i was outside on my deck to have a cigarette and i looked up at the stars as i often do and i seen this purple/ blue diamond shape descending to the east of my location which would be the umo ((i.e., Univ. of Maine at Orono)) field. it descended at a downward angle and as it went below the tree line i ran inside to get my video camera and car keys and i drove to the umo field to hopefully video tape what i seen. to my avail there was nothing there. this object i seen did not make a sound and at the bottom of the diamond shape it appeared to have a fire ball to it

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.
