Light over Baldwin, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While watching sky around 8:30 pm, I witnessed about 20 degrees above the horizon 3 lights move on the same line towards the same spot like you would see satellites move, except each was alone, until disappearing, and then a giant flare upward appeared. Once the flare went down, I noticed the second light which repeated first lights actions. I did not see the flare on the third light.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135719). 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.
