Formation over Lee, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While walking outside with my wife I noticed what I thought was helicopter drone. At first, I thought the lights were rotors. However, they were not stationary. It was a long gray cigar with 2 thin bright white cylindrical objects similar to a florescent light moving with it. So, I deduced that it was a KC-135 Tanker with two fighter jets. I attempted to put wings on it and count engines, it had none. The whole time I am trying to make sense of what i was seeing the “fighter jets” were moving very quickly and erratically all over and around this thing. I was only able to observe it for about ten seconds as it was moving very fast with no contrail like all the other planes had at the time.

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.
