Circle over Middlebury, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were enjoying the eastern night sky at approx 945 pm and I noticed what I thought might be international space station somewhere top left of Orion’s Belt, object moves left in sky very distant and small but noticeable for about 1 min and then literally turned - Approx 45 degrees down to left kind of towards night horizon , mE and my friend saw it and were convinced it was space station until it changed course for about 10 seconds and we lost track of it in night sky, neither of us have ever seen anything like it , weird!

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.
