Light over Lubec, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed a string of 30-40 objects very high in the night sky travelling at a magnetic compass bearing of 150 degrees ESE. They appeared as bright white lights evenly spaced in groups of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, with no logical pattern of grouping. Fast moving, silent, they appeared like a train in the sky. After about 5 minutes, a second group of exactly 20 lights travelling at the same bearing passed by. My wife and I both saw the lights. They were spotted at approximately above the sliver moon, which was below Venus. We watched them pass over the house and head in a direction towards Grand Manan Island, Canada, and suddenly vanish in the night sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155756). 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.
