Light over Swansea, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Small purplish light, too large to be an aircraft, too slow-moving and too early in the evening to be a comet. Noticed it mid-sky and it disappeared over the horizon. Seen arching across 195 westbound near Vinnicum rd. Did not check time but was around twilight/dusk.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142253). 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.

I went outside to see the meteorite shower and I got bored, so I flashed the flash light in the sky looking for bats. Then this object flashed a red light at me, with white lights around it. I flashed the flashlight in the sky at it and the large object moved to the left and flashed a red light at me again! I went inside to tell my husband and wrote this report.

I saw reports from a friend in New Bedford. He saw this. I decided to look out my window and there it was.
