Light over Edgartown, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were in bed and the stars were very bright through a transom window. I first saw a really cool meteor that was the largest I'd ever seen. From my view it was baseball size and was heading toward the Atlantic Ocean. Shortly after I noticed a star that was moving around like it was a bug. I asked my husband if he saw the odd star that was moving around. He saw it too. It was very weird so I got out binoculars. Through the binoculars it was 3 lights moving around erratically. The lights were doing loops and squiggles and leaving trails of light in their paths. This went on nonstop. I am 56 and my husband is 59. We are college graduates and own a small business. We were totally sober and just trying to fall asleep.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153476). 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.
