Triangle over Rowley, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
What made me go outside to look was a low almost bass like sound. Making a loop around a small area of my neighborhood, it left in the same direction it came. I came inside and started researching for a forum for sightings like the one I just had. While I was searching I thought I heard the same type of sound. Going back outside I saw nothing but heard what to me sounded like just a helicopter, after going outside I could tell they we're two different sounds.

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 laying in bed at night and looked out the window and normally am able to see Planes at night due to being in the flight path however I did not see any on flight tracker in the vicinity. I saw three very bright white and orange lights that formed a perfect triangle. The lights were pulsating in and out forming a larger triangle then smaller triangle changing size all while maintaining its shape. I also saw another small bright white orb up to the left upper side of the camera view. All of a sudden all of the lights compressed into one and Shot away in a very fast not normal flight pattern that I have ever seen.

Following working on the outside of my house, I sat down out side with my laser pointer looking into the south east sky. I targeted some stars in the sky and started doing random patterns of bursts of the laser into the sky. After only a couple of minutes, a fiery orb travelling from left to right appeared at the tree top level (@50 ft) and disappeared a short number of seconds later. It was amazing, and scary, all at the same time.

At approximately 9pm (21:00) on Monday the 17th of August, I was putting my dog outside to make her business for the night. My kitchen door roughly faces east. As a turned south, I noticed I had left my grill out and needed to put it in my shed. Now the east sky to my left, I noticed a bright light high in the sky out of the corner of my eye. Not really realizing what I was seeing yet, I started to roll my grill towards my shed, but kept looking back to the east sky. It's hard to explaine the color and speed that the item was dropping. I am color blind, so I cannot tell you what color the light was, but it was dropping in the sky almost at the pace that you would caulk a vertical seam in a tub. The backdrop to the light was the night sky, full of stars. I could not see a cloud, but I can't say it is not possible. The light did not blink like the 100's of aircraft that pass over my house at night. It also made no sound. As it was dropping, it disappeared. It disappeared like a plane might into a cloud, except it didn't appear to be any clouds as I could see the night sky full of stars behind it. I have spent the past week observing the sky and have seen meteors from the meteor showers. This is not the same. The drop was at a controlled, slow speed.
