Changing over Jewett City, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In the NW sky quite high above the horizon we witnessed what looked like a large star. We used stable binoculars to look closer and noticed that it was changing both color and shape. It was continually bright white and would occasionally have blue and red ends. At one time it changed into three oblong white balls and would return to it's original shape. Several times it almost looked like a pyramid. Before it was gone the three white balls moved up and down. There was always a "cloud" next to it that changed into a ball also. It was gone it an instant and we noticed that there was a wide white streak across the sky that stayed for quite a while. It was much too low and too wide to be a contrail. Went from NW to NE.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141469). 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.
