Disk over Newport, RI

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

The report, as filed

While driving down a road that I drive down almost daily a bright object caught my eye, I was curious instantly. I could see the edge of what looked like a disk but at first you could distinctively see lights on what seemed to be the underside or bottom of the saucer. My immediate thought was there are no red or blue flashing lights and the object was flying too low to be any plane. As we got closer it started to show itself more. It was clearly hovering and not only do planes not fly that low around here... Planes dont hover! it proceeded to slowly move north. From my perspective it was hovering over what seemed to be the area of the hospital more so toward the Newport Naval Base. The object seemed to turn or slowly flip to where i could distinctively see 3 circles of light that werent perfect circles and they where glowing blueish white light that was bright enough to outline the shape of the object. It was a big object bigger than any drone and any plane ! or helicopter that flies around here. As soon as it showed the three lights that where shaped like if you connected them they would make a perfect triangle, the bottom light flickered a couple times. The lights, to me, seemed like some kind of propulsion system like thrusters and the lights were some sort of fuel/power source. The object had some sort of cloaking capability because you could see the 3 lights/thrusters and the outline but the bottom of the ship seemed to camoflage with the sky. The way this object moved and hovered alone was unlike anything ive ever seen and i have been to air shows and have seen the most modern of planes fly, ive seen the f-22 raptor up close and a b-52 bomber. This object possessed technology and abilities that werent anything from this planet. In no way shape or form did i feel threatened by this object and it seemed to be showing itself on purpose like it was staring directly into the car. I was with two other people and i was not the dr! iver so my eye was glued to this object the whole time. it slo! wly move d and the driver was too dumb to follow so it went beyond the line of site and dissapeared. This thing was big. the two other i was with saw the object and it was real, it was the most intense thing ive ever seen. knowing just about 100% that what i saw no doubt was a UFO and was most likely piloted by Extra Terrestrials it absolutely blew my mind and will forever. The object was soo big and vivid it was undeniable what i saw and believe me or not i know what i saw and i believed before that they may exist. After last night there is no doubt. It has peeked my curiosity and im craving more. Seeing this object would have made even the most skeptical of skeptics believe, i am skeptical and i dont just assume i thought of all the possibilities on what it could possibly be before i thought UFO. Theres nothing on this planet that can move and be as big as that object. I hope people start to believe more and accept these beings because who knows how much they can help the human rac! e.

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.

Cone shaped in its entirety appearing to be all white light. Headed toward earth, with movement that is similar to some thing that would be burning. The cone shape was made possibly by the "tails" which seemed to come off the original possibly round shape. Shape and tails were all the same color, white light. Movement appeared to be slowly descending based on the distance where it was observed.

(I HAVE ALL OF THIS ON VIDEO. 11 MINUTES) A "light" appeared in the night sky seemingly out of nowhere in the distance. I've seen this same "light" in roughly the same spot three times before this. The object is suspended and the air and is brighter than anything else in the night sky. As I watched it I could see many different colors and an undeniably different glow about it. It stood hovering in the air for multiple minutes only moving ever so much overtime. From the left I spotted another glowing object heading right into the line of direction of the first stationary one . The object continued closer and seemed to go right through or at least directly in front of the stationary "light". The object continued on right and eventually stopped in the sky and was blinking in place. This object ended up being directly across from the first one in some kind of formation. After reviewing the video I found a third one which would make three in a line. As I focused back in on the first bright stationary objects after a moment or so I can see some kind of "flickering" of light right to the right of it. It continues doing this for a few seconds and then, out of nowhere a bright "light" appeared identical to the first one. Now there are two large bright objects in the sky in addition to the two less bright ones to the right. Found the same time the first stationary "light" starts very slowly heading left. It did this for several seconds and stopped in the sky again. Again after reviewing the video I noticed other lights around this object in the sky at that time. The "light" noticeably begins to glow more around it, you can see the brilliance of the light. The object directly, but very close over me. I saw different colors and a strange formation underneath the craft as it went overhead. It was Unbelievable. The object continued right in the night sky and flew off into the distance. I put my camera back on the second light that had appeared out of nowhere and it was still there. In the last few seconds of my video I also captured another unidentified flying object in the sky. This is not a joke, this is not a prank. I have video Evans for every single thing that I've said here.

On a earlier date (October 5th, 2017), I went outside to take a picture, for reasons I don't even know, but later next year (5/28/18) I was looking through my photos carefully, when I spotted something on the photo that I took a year earlier. The object is pretty much a cigar shaped thing and was metallic. The object I assume is pretty high altitude judging by the original photo. Sadly, I can't remember what the object was doing since it was a while a go. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Cigar-shaped object with white, green and red counter-clockwise traveling lights, in that order, seen in the air over Narragansett Bay, in the area of Newport Bridge & US Naval Base. It slowly traveled the same short route five times, from west to east & returning to the west. On the third trip east, it was half way and appeared to go north towards Bristol, but immediately returned south and headed east, again. On its 5th and final trip, headed east, it disappeared from site.
