Light over Beddington, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself, fiancé and our two children ages 7 and 10 were out on a night time 4 wheeler ride. We were at our camp on Beddington Lake and like to ride out to the blueberry fields to star gaze. We noticed a light that looked like maybe a star in the sky to our north zig zagging around. It looked to be over the area of Mopang Lake, north of route 9 in Beddington. It moved up and down, left to right at pretty fast speeds. It was able to change opposite directions at max speed. It would move north eventually disappearing from sight, only to come back a few minutes later. The family was terrified and wanted to go back to the camp but I insisted on staying to watch. After about 15 minutes of observing, my fiancé and son announced seeing another object to the East. It was a little bigger which I think means it was probably closer. It also appeared to have an orangish color to it. It too would zig zag around almost as if it were surveying an area. Both objects eventuall! y moved off in the distance. Also during this sighting a large and intense white flash was seen in the sky above us.

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.
