Flash over Hudson, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving in my truck doing about 75 to 80mph on the 495 north highway when I saw this large flash on light form..then shoot like a star but only 100feet above ground. It flashed bright enough to leave a trail in my eyes after I closed them. I had 1 passenger and we both said, "What the hell was that?" And agreed it moved awful strange and disappeared so fast it was not something we could explain. Too close for a shooting star but looked just like one. Right above my truck. Then we felt really emotional over it... With no explanation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148183). 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.
