Circle over Atkinson, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We first thought it was a shooting star. But then a plane went by with a red flashing light on it and gave us something to compare it’s height in the sky to. We continued to watch it and it was slow moving until it was almost directly above us and it shot off to the left at an insane rate of speed. It was a streak and then gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159185). 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.

Multi-colored lights with a V or boomerang shaped object which hovered and had no noise. Close enough that I could see lights outlines the shape. Stood for about 6 minutes watching it. Came in to get binoculars and was gone when I came out. Was letting dog out and heard a plane. Saw this object with lights and thought it was unusual for a plane to have many colored lights on wings. Saw a plane in the distance however, while this object was still hovering.
