Teardrop over Weston, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My daughter-in-law and I were traveling in a quiet car, west on rte. 57 in the early evening so it was dark and there are no road lights on this route. A teardrop-shaped bright white light with a neon green colored interior of the drop and a long following tail crossed the road perpendicular to us - so, traveling low in the sky, and close, from north to south. The movement was fast and similar to a shooting star, but the object was much bigger. It crossed our entire field of view and we both saw it at the same time. My daughter-in-law thought it might be a helicopter or small plane because it was that close but I dismissed both because there was no fire - no orange or yellow at all. After it crossed our view we didn’t see anything else.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161470). 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.

Similar to a shooting star or extremely low altitude meteorite, or object burning in atmoshphere....it was not a reflection, it was not an aircraft.
