Light over Kennebunk, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Stepped out of house for last cigarette before bed. Looking west to a very clear sky. I noticed what I thought may have been a satellite. As always I track to see if it moves. As I was tracking I noticed another not far behind then another then another. After the third one I ran to the door and yelled for my girlfriend to come see. We counted 12 total. None following directly behind in a straight line. And not evenly spaced out. No blinking lights and nothing on flighttrader24. No moon. Reason I thought this was odd was looking west, the sun had set and the objects were illuminated (white) on the eastern side. No noise either. Sighting was around 35 degrees up from horizon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156778). 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.

2 flashing green lights. 1 dark green, 1 pale green. Green light turned into a extremely fast “smear” of light with a subtle arc westward. Pale light flashed twice after that and “smeared” light easterly. Both lights were aligned with the Milky Way which was running north to south.

I was having a hard night with sleeping so I went outside in my yard an walked around. I noticed it getting brighter so it mad me look up at the moon. When I looked up it was bright like super bright an it wasn’t a full moon night An for a mint I thought the moon was moving.it looked like it was getting close an backing up a few times I thought I saw this. So I continued to look up at it an follow it in the sky. I watched an watched an became really interested with it I felt that this thing was unusual. So I pulled out my phone and started to take a video. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was bright big had about 3 or so sides it looked maybe it looked like it was also turning an at one point well it started lighting up one one side than another an another. One of the times it was light up I saw a vehicle go by me on the road an well I thought I saw it flash almost like Something took a picture like a flash of light. A day later I sat here an played ! that video wondering if I had indeed seen what I thought I had. Just put it this way when I got to the video we’re the Vehicle was driving by I DID INDEED caught an unbelievable thing I slow mode the time in my video an that thing in the sky well it flashed a light right down on that vehicle an a ray of a green light. I couldn’t believe this I always wondered but is it a UFO.... or is it the government???

My bedroom is on the second floor and has a view that’s a wide opening to the sky and faces east about 3 miles fromthe ocean. Nightly at around 9 pm I see orange lights fly slowly in the east along the shore. Tonight my dog woke me up at around 2:30 am and I have been watching a very bright orange light rise up from the tree tops, linger about a minute and then just disappear. This process lasts about 30 seconds and happens almost every minute or so and I have been up watching for an hour so far. Pease AFB is nearby and I suspect they are training the fueling helicopters and wonder why they only train in the dead of night. I hope they aren’t dumping fuel as they train and don’t want people to see. I see them out over the ocean most nights flying south to north in early the night but this is the first time this orange light is rising up into the sky and then disappearing again and again. It is not going very high in the sky, but it rises up just over the tree! tops. It is very bright orange.
