Light over Port Republic, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
in southern MD. Around 8:40 pm on a very clear night, I saw about 5 maybe more lights in sky about northwest. At first they were very still in a line start near land going upward. I thought they were stars and thought it was strange that I never saw them there before. Then they in unison moved slowly upward, into middle of sky then spread out. Some say satellites, I’m not sure what it was.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154763). 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.
