Light over Prospect, ME

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My Son & I were outside listening to an owl when I saw this very bright, what I first thought to be a star, come out of no where and quickly travel across the sky. It then suddenly disappeared into the milky way. I tried taking pictures with my cell phone and normally I cant with any other stars because they're not bright enough or too far away but I did with this. Also, when I took a picture of it; when I zoomed in,it made this huge hazy image appear on my camera & I couldnt take a picture until it had passed overhead. My phone has never done that when taking pictures. It also was not a shooting star. My Son and I have seen other strange things while laying outside looking up at stars but this by far gave me goosebumps and I knew it wasnt anything other than a UFO.

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.

Prospect, ME

Because it was a clear night, I went outside to look at the stars, while our dog was out before bed. I noticed a large orb in the eastern sky and was perplexed that it was so bright. Thought it might be a close planet. I went inside the house to get binoculars. Upon further scrutiny, I saw that there were different colored lights (red, green, white, blue-ish) rotating around the orb. Trying to rationalize what this was, I thought of a few things and then discarded those thoughts because they didn’t make sense. My husband was already in bed, but I felt it necessary to ask him to come downstairs and look for himself. I certainly wanted a second person to affirm my sighting…no matter what it was. After he and I watched it for a bit and conversed about what it might be, we opted to call a neighbor to look to see if he could see it from his house. We are at a higher elevation (maybe 20-30 feet than he. He couldn’t see the object we were looking at.. The object changed from an ‘orb’ to a flatter configuration and then almost like it stood on its edge, still circular. I watched it for another hour, and then went to bed. No changes in position or intensity.
