Changing over Princeton, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my Pickup Truck headed north from work at 4:45 pm on the afternoon of 5 March 2020. The sky was clear with no clouds but did have a slight haze to it. As I came into the town of Princeton, I noticed an object to my north at about a 45-degree angle. The object was approximately 2-3 miles in front of me and appeared to be the same altitude as most commercial jets fly. I believe the object was heading in a northerly direction as I watched it for approximately a minute and the object never moved to the East or West and did not appear to be moving toward me. It was either headed in a northerly direction or was stationary. The distance it was from me made it appear baseball size and to my eye it appeared to be Spherical, but I believe it was more Cylindrical. It had a very bright silvery aura around the whole object. I thought it could be the sun shining on it, but the sun was in the West and the aura encircled the whole object. Approximately a minute into viewing the object it changed into looking like a chevron pointed toward the ground and about softball size. The object appeared to glow brighter than before. Within 2-4 seconds after the shape change it abruptly disappeared.

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.
