Triangle over Leicester, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Tonight I was driving on Stafford street towards Leicester. There were 5, very bright lights that seemed to be from different crafts. Altogether, they formed a triangle shape. They just hovered in the sky together. I had to take a right at the intersection so I drove away from the lights. I could no longer see them. It was very weird and different. As soon as I saw it, my body got numb and i got goosebumps, probably because I was scared. I’m wondering if anyone else saw it.

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 sitting outside smoking a cigarette before bed looking up at the bright moon when I saw a flash in the sky, as if a star turned on and off. I didn't think anything of it when a few minutes later from the opposite side of the sky I saw a fast moving brightly glowing white/reddish object trail accross the sky for about 10 seconds, and then disappear. It was moving much faster than an airplane but much slower than a shooting star. And I know that it couldn't have been a shooting star because this object was moving horizontally along the skyline. The odd thing was that it disappeared right around where I saw the initial flash. There was no sound that I could hear at the time but there was a loud bang in the distance. Not sure if it could be related to this object. It was a very quiet night before this, but shortly after 3 aircraft emerged from the sky which I thought was odd. And all the dogs in the surrounding areas started barking.

Triangular large, hovering, craft, slowly moving forward toward our house which is surrounded by hundreds of acres of woodlands. 5 intermittently pulsating lights appeared to be scanning the wooded area. The craft was extremely large. Triple the size of a large home and only several hundred feet above the treeline. It slowly hovered closer with lights pulsating and as our motion lights in driveway went off it disappeared. Didn't fly off, but was suddenly gone. This craft was completely silent. Never a sound .

Don't think it was a UFO. I work nights and was opening up my building walked back outside to grab my lunch from my truck. Then I saw it the sky turned a reddish color and bright ball of light fell straight down, sky then turned light blue color and when the ball fell out of site. Sky turned back to black like it should look at night. I was expecting a explosion I thought it was a plane falling from the sky. I've never seen anything like that it was so unreal. We have received several other reports from the east coast of the event. We suspect that the most likely explanation is a dramatic meteor. PD

Last week, I saw something that flew at the blink of an eye. It looked weird but I didn't put much thought into it because I thought it was just a shooting star. Last night, I saw it again on the same spot. This had me thinking. This craft looked like a bright star that was still in the sky. Out of no where, it flew away so quick. Like a zap or something. This object had a tail of light facing the direction it was heading, so the light was in front of the craft. When looking at a shooting star, the tail of light is behind the star, facing the opposite direction of where it's heading. It was so weird, this thing past so quick, like at the blink of an eye and then disappeared. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I don't know how to explain this.
