Flash over Westford, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Coming home from studying for finals.. step out of my car and this ball of extremely bright green light shot out of the sky down directly at the earth going hundreds of miles per hour. The craft was south of me, a mile or so from where I was. the craft seemed to dive from a hovering point about a few hundred feet in the air because that’s where the streak started. This was no man made craft, it might sound weird but it’s almost like it knew I looked at it then dove super fast the exact moment I saw it. I stayed for a few more minutes and tried to catch another glimpse but that was it. Have never seen anything like it and felt compelled to share

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.
