Light over Newport, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in a friends back yard when 6 or 7 lights streamed across the sky. They were following the same trajectory and did not deviate from the same line. It lasted for a total of 2 or 3 seconds. At first we thought it was the Chinese space station debris or a meteor shower, but the lights weren't scattered.

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.

Single solid orange lit object silently flying south to north from Prouty Drive towards Lake Memphremagog. Maybe 100-200 feet up going steadily at what appeared to be about 50-60 mph. Clear skies at dusk traveled just above and then into the leafless tree tops away from me.

To the northeast of Lake Memphremagog my fiancé was driving home and said that I should come outside. She told me that she had observed all of the floating amber colored lights for approximately 5 minutes before she arrived home. I went outside and saw the drifting to the northeast with others entering from the horizon on the northwest. There were dozens of the amber colored lights and their altitude was below 5000 feet, as it is very cloudy and a little foggy outside.
