Unknown over Bristol, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
See clouds looked weird and only 2 in sky then sun reflection of my mirror from sun setting hit this ship,, was directly above me and I screamed and pointed and it shot up and sat for min until taking 90 degree angle at speed so fast it left the blue sky a trail ! It was studying me and friend ice fishing on lake in pickup ! Had hair raising feeling something watching and sure enough it was 80 ft above me and 50 -60 ft around and Chamaeleon camo until sun reflection showed it true form , that same area my father and his 2 friends chased a craft exactly same thing 20 years ago to the tee and town watched it as they chased it on atvs over trees !

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.
