Formation over Middleboro, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I woke up around 2:00am. I usually wake up to that time since I am having trouble sleeping sometimes. This took place around 2:26am, around this time. I went to go to the bathroom. I have a window in front of the toilet. While doing my business, I look outside of the window. I am interested in astronomy, so I look up to the night sky. I was looking at the stars, and I noticed a very peculiar star, which was brighter than others. It was lights. From space, not like beams shooting up, but lights. I first saw what it looked liked to be a star, a white-looking star, then another joined under it, and another under it. The 3 stars formed in a line. After about 5 seconds, they merged into one star. Then the stars looked like it was making an unknown shape. From what I saw, it looked like a teardrop but the tip was very curved. I also noticed some sort of beam shining out of the UFO. I also noticed a minuscule-sized aircraft flying around the light. The small one was flashing green lights. Then it faded into nothing. Came back, then faded once more. After the 2nd fading, the light never came back. During this, I decided to go get my camera (I was amazed at the sight, but also still. But I snapped myself out of it and tried getting the camera). My camera couldn't take the picture of the lights, everything was too dark. Keep in mind that that UFOs were at star-length. They were as far away as if they were blending in with a star.

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.

As I was driving home from my father's house in Plymouth, MA, I was traveling west on route 44 at approximately 10:33pm EST, when I saw 3 bright lights in the sky in a line formation. At first they looked like planets or stars lining up from a distance. As I kept traveling, I noticed them appearing closer and larger. The bright white light now was pulsating/slowly flickering. As I drive off the exit, I notice that they are hovering over certain locations I'm the town. As I drove away further from the highway and into a heavily wooded area I lost sight. I continued back on the high on route 44 west after stopping to get gas. While coming up on the exit in Taunton, MA for route 24 south heading towards Fall River, I saw in the sky 3 more bright hovering objects. This is about 6+ miles away from the original sighting and about 15 minutes after the initial sighting. I got onto route 24 south and several miles later I am passing exit 16 I saw over the tree line through the passenger side window in the sky two more bright hovering objects. As I drive past, I looked out my driver side window and see one hovering almost directly above me. More than several hundred feet up in the air. It was very high up but I believe I saw faint solid red and green lights on the bottom. As I kept driving, right before passing the next exit the next town over I saw 3 more bright hovering objects in the sky. Several miles further up the highway at exit 8 I saw the last sighting before returning home. I saw 4 bright hovering objects in the sky over the Taunton River and the town of Somerset, MA. I kept my eyes on these objects the best I could while getting off the highway and returning home. As soon as I returned home, I headed all the way to my deck on the 4th floor which has a clear 360° view of the sky to attempt to take more pictures, however when I reached the top deck, the objects were gone. Please excuse the music in the attached videos. The map attached is my route back home and the stars on the map are the location I spotted the hovering objects. The first and last sightings were about 27 miles apart from each other over the span of an hour.

At first we thought it was electricity in the clouds as there was thunder and lightening around the same time. We watched them for several minutes ping pong around over our back yard. They eventually came together in the center and glowed like moonlight. In a split second it just disappeared. Searchlights

The object high in the sky looked like a jellyfish and it turned into a circle and was dark in color and stopped and went straight up and disappeared

Woke up at 3 a.m. and when I looked out my bedroom window, I saw what I thought was an airplane. When I realized it was not moving, I stared at it for a time to try to determine what it was. The object was distant, but not so distant that I could not see a little detail. It had bright lights, seemed to be pulsating, and moved almost imperceptibly from left to right. The lights appeared to be in a triangular shape. At one point, an extremely bright, perfectly vertical, thin beam of light appeared next to it (think of a flashbulb, but quicker). This happened twice. This thing remained in the sky, in the same spot, for over an hour.

Woke up at 3 a.m., and decided to go downstairs. I rolled over, put my glasses on, and I saw bright lights that I thought was a plane. I thought it was odd to see a plane on the flight path to Logan Airport at that hour. Then I realized the lights were not moving, and noticed the lights were sort of shimmering and blinking (mostly white with what appeared to be only one red light). I kept staring at it thinking maybe it was a planet or a star, but this was no planet or star since I could see individual lights. It seemed to be moving to the left then to the right only a tiny bit, and seemed to be rotating. Then to the left of it, there was a very, very bright flash that lasted for less than a second. Then the same thing happened to the right of it. Laid there still awake for about a half hour, then looked out the window again. It was still there--not moving, but blinking and shimmering. Around 4:45, it was further away. The flashes were more like thin beams of extremely bright white light that travelled in perfectly straight vertical lines. They appeared in a flash, in a nanosecond—and these flashes were blinding. I cannot imagine I was the only person who saw this.
