Unknown over East Greenwich, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I witnessed a craft about a mile up with different colored lights zip through the sky faster than anything I’ve ever scene. It didn’t make a sound and didn’t appear to put off any exhaust. Faster than a shooting star and definitely faster than any military aircraft I’ve ever witnessed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148829). 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.

I was driving the interstate at night with my buddy headed to casino when a very bright flashing light appeared in the horizon, I had my eyes on the road the whole time and it appeared almost as if it was out of thin air, flying on with no curve to its direction or sound, no trail, nothing that would indicate it’s possible with the technology we have today. The UFO flashed twice, the second time it flashes it had disappeared and it’s absolutely impossible for it to have just disappeared. By the time it blinked the second time, my buddy had also picked up on the object flying at an extreme rate of speed blink and disappear. I know it couldn’t have been an airplane or helicopter, I have never seen something fly with such speed in my line in a straight line without producing sound by breaking the sound barrier. I have never reported a UFO sighting and I have never experienced something like this in my life, I wish I had a video for better explanations however, I also know I couldn’t have been the only one on that highway with my friend who had seen what we seen. If our eyes picked it up in the night sky out of all those other dimmer lights from planes and other civilized aircraft’s, other had to of as well. Following seeing the light disperse in the sky out of no where, we had seen multiple plane lights and helicopters stationed, flying around the exact area where we had seen the light, this also helped us distinguish the difference between what we had seen and what we know as currently accessible technology. Not sure if the other aircraft were looking for what we had seen but if it showed up on an airport radar and vanished, it would make sense.

I watched for it for about 5-8 min to watch it rise back up without sound and veer off to the right as it rose and then had greenish blue, burgandy, and orange lights as well as u could clearly make the shape out with how bright the lights were. (( We have amended the time, to reflect a morning sighting. We have attempted to contact the source to confirm, but have not heard back from him. PD)

A red, football shaped craft, entered my view in the southeastern sky, proceeded at high speed, as well as i can estimate according to estimated altitude, and crossed the sky to exit my view in the west. In my life, I have never seen anything like this craft. I am 62. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
