Other over Winthrop, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I left Hannaford parking lot and headed east . What appeared above us is baffling. A very large boat shaped craft overtook us from overhead and behind . We both saw the craft and in an instant it vanished before our eyes. Black aircraft with a glow off to the side almost like it had some sorce of back lighting. Neither one of us heard any sound .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150374). 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 witnessed a single bright white/blue (like an arc welder) light traveling in a south easterly direction. Approximately 1500 feet high moving about 200mph. It was silent. No blinking lights. Not a plane, not a helicopter and not a meteor. I had a bright flash light in hand as I was outside to observe an expected meteor shower. I recognized it was something unusual right away. I decided to blink my flash light at it, to see if it would respond. I blinked my light twice. The light immediately changed course. Now traveling straight up from my view point. It disappeared into space. The sky was extremely clear and made this all a stunning experience. It happened quickly.
