Chevron over Essex, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was sitting out on my back deck just before twilight watching the civilian aircraft circling in the Logan approach pattern and the high altitude military aircraft flying south over Boston. What caught my attention was fast mover that had the afterburners kicked in moving north away from Boston at a very high rate of speed. It is not unusual for military aircraft to be cruising in this area. But it is unusual to see them with the afterburners kicked in with such a dense air traffic area. As I was watching the fast mover a single chevon shaped object momentarily appeared ahead of the interceptor and disappeared. Had no way of gauging the distance between the interceptor and the chevron shaped object. After the object disappeared the interceptor continued north towards New Hampshire at a slower rate of speed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135734). 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.
