Changing over Winthrop, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Apparently those shapes of multiple lights shining over Boston harbor high up are coming from whatever that ship is that’s been floating around in Boston outer harbor or docked off of one of Boston harbor islands. If you look at the bright white lights with binoculars you can see the stream of laser lights shining upward towards the sky and then making these oval shaped rings of multi colors in the ring. Also that low flying plane with disco lights wasn’t a hoax. It appeared to be some kind of military plane that had a bunch of green lasers in the shape of a cone shining down to the ground. Further searching on web revealed that they are used for topography and also used for searching premises for explosives and narcotics. So much for search warrants.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143619). 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 was in my front room when I heard a random noise outside which prompted me to look at my camera shooting toward the street overlooking our car, what caught my eye was a very bright white flash on my monitor. I looked out the window but saw nothing. I went out to my front porch which faces me toward the south. When I looked up I saw a sphere, orange in color and the color seemed to be generated by lights. Not a fire orange. It came in my direction which would make the sphere to be traveling south. It sounds crazy but I felt like it knew I was looking up at it because it suddenly took a turn towards the ocean which would be toward the east. I picked up my phone and logic would tell me that it was going to reappear after the treetops that it flew behind but it was gone. Vivid vivid vivid I checked off ‘airplanes in the vicinity’ because Logan airport is nearby but there were no obvious air flight patterns going over Winthrop that night.

Was outside with my dog and heard like a lawn mower (not airplane/not helicopter) sound coming from North of my house. Looking around both my dog and I until bright white & green disco flashing lights were all on the ground around me and over me it flew directly above my house headed south and disappeared into the sky.

The strang multicolored object was up in the sky changing shape. It would occasionally give off a bright flash of light.
