Triangle over Mount Airy, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I heard a wispy noise outside at 5a.m. when I stepped outside there were four lights in a tight rectangle overhead. As the lights continued the turned into a square then as it got further away a straight line of lights. Craft was about the size of a commercial jet while in the square or rectangular formation. But twice as wide in linear formation. The sound was what a jumbo jet would sound like if it had its engines of a gliding. Like whispering loud wind sound. Approximately no more than two thousand feet high.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149315). 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.
