Diamond over Cushing, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
UFO seen by 4 friends in Cushing, ME (Maplejuice Cove area, overlooking the water in an Easterly direction) today, 8/27/19, at approx. 7:40pm, seen for about 30 seconds. Very bright, white light. Maybe round or vaguely diamond/star shaped. Didn’t appear to be moving. It was larger than a star or satellite, and significantly smaller than a full moon. We watched it for about 30 sec, then we moved inside (+/- 3 sec) and looked for it again. None of us saw it disappear. We looked through window from inside and it was gone. We visit this area every year and have never seen anything like this. Additionally, this afternoon (8/27/19), we were surprised to see a large Coast Guard boat motoring through this same area in Maplejuice Cove at around noon/1:00 today, heading North toward Rockland, ME. We have never seen a Coast Guard boat in this area before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148519). 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.
