Formation over East Weymouth, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Thursday May 30th 9 pm East Weymouth, MA, Northeast sighting I was looking on the horizon and I saw a regular airplane. Then as the plane flew out of view out from behind where the airplane was I saw six white spotlights sitting in the sky. The lights then slowly dispersed up unto the sky at different angles. I would describe it like you have a closed fist and then you open it wide and watching the tips of your fingers go into different directions. The lights got less visible the more they spread out. I stood there to wait to see if I saw anything more and nothing else happened.

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.
