Other over Foster, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving East on RT 101I spotted what I could only discribe as 2 flaming engines. Craft moved in a SE direction before seeing to move into clouds but after not noticing any light it seemed to have just vanished. I could only see a vuage outline of the craft in a shape similar to a plane but the 2 engines seemed to flank the craft. Again both emitting a short trail of fire. I believe me and a friend have seen a similar object years ago on the eastern side of RI. Flying low overhead with a similar glow and seemed to decent near the border of MA.

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.
