A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was around 9pm, my dogs were in easy as well as my Guenny ((sic. Guinea)) hens, it is unusual for the hens to be out and about at this time, I went outside and saw one red light. zooming wildly, no apparent pattern. I watched it for many min. there was a great yellow/orange flash and then there were two red. Lights, behaving in the same manner, dancing with each other along the horizon of the White Mts. This went on for many more min. A second flash and they were gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133843). 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.
