Triangle over Standish, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While doing yard work with my neighbor, I heard a small aircraft passing overhead. Out of curiosity I looked up and saw the single engine plane. Then I noticed some extremely bright lights flashing just below some black storm clouds. I looked more closely and could make out a rectangular shape moving Southwest very slowly then just came to a stop. I called to my neighbor and asked her to look up and tell me what she saw. She said, “what is that?” We watched it for about ten minutes, just sitting there in one spot, not moving and very bright lights flashing from all three points of its shape. It then started moving slowly to the Northeast and went into the heavy black clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162195). 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.
