Light over Rochesster, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The light was traveling in the distance between a group of trees that was in my line of sight in my back yard. As I watched the light pass behind the last tree it looked to be heading away from me, turning North . Once the first light i saw passed and was moving away a second light appeared in the same location as the first and moving in the same direction. This continued for around 10 minutes, it seemed. I watched about 4 go by before I went inside and grabbed my phone to try and record it. During my recording (which didn't come out very well) I watched around 8-10 more pass by. At least a dozen if not more in total. No blinking lights just a bright white light and was brighter than any star or planet.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156779). 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.
