Circle over York Harbor, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my porch looking out over York Harbor/Beach when I noticed a light blinking in the sky far above the horizontal line where the ocean meets the sky, visionally speaking. It looked like a star but was apparently in atmosphere and seemed to be pulsating. I watched from inside the house as it was cold but collected a few minutes of footage. It moved in a vertical motion slightly but remained in that vicinity for near an hr. It seemed like a giant drone from the way it was hovering and by size as it was like looking at a plane and knowing it’s proximity to you is much further than just a couple hundred yards. It was possibly the strangest thing I’ve witnessed in my life. I’ve shown others the videos and they are just as baffled.

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.
