Light over Oxford, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three separate bright white lights spotted on a relatively clear and quiet night. One following behind the other, traveling due east. Why it was unusual and caught our attention is that they were extremely high in the sky, at first mistaken for stars. The lights were the size of a large star seen in the sky this night. The lights were steady, not flashing. They were traveling quite fast as compared to the very visible planes passing nearby, and they flew in a synchronized line. They made no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163401). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

I own 14 acres of woods and am surrounded by many more. I was driving down my driveway when a bipedal creature about 4 ft tall and about as wide as my thigh (I'm 5'6" 140lbs so not big) ran out of the woods to my left, across my driveway and into the woods/yard of the property on the right. It was about 10 yards away. It looked like a tree on legs with small arms. No visible curves, hips or shoulders. Just straight. It was brown, skinny, no fur or hair, lightning fast and light as a feather. Almost looked like it wasn't even touching the ground. Didn't hear a sound from it running and all the birds and other animals were dead silent. When it ran it didn't prance like most animals or run like a human. It's legs were moving as if you were pedaling a bicycle. I saw the back and a bit of the right side of it. I didn't see the front or a face. I didn't see a tail, ears or any other body parts a normal animal or human would have. About 2 months ago I was outside around 10pm and there were 2 owls hooting back and forth. Then I heard this God awful screeching sound (wasn't a fisher cat or screech owl). I have no idea if that was related or not. I don't do drugs and I was not drinking. I am not on any medication or anything like that. I don't know if it was for sure an alien but I don't know what else it could be. I did not see any craft or anything although I wasn't going to walk thru the woods to look either.

I witnessed 3 bright but silent objects hovering approximately for 30-40 seconds and then a bright flash almost like the light was scanning from front to back but the light was intense almost as bright as a spot light on a helicopter. Then I was able to see something/someone lowered out of one of the crafts into the field across the street then quickly go back up into the craft. Shortly after the 3 bright lights flashed and disappeared but could see the light trails behind them and still with out making any noise. I possibly have this on my home security system.

Large rectangular object with 4-5 flashing lights On 12/22/19 im driving home from a friend's house in oxford though a back road. A somewhat remote part I notice up in to the left a large rectangular object that seemed to be hovering. Had what i want to say 5 maybe 4 flashing lights they were flashing red but one was flashing green.from what I can tell it was not a plane even though the airport is close by. As I look foward i see a police car driving towards me. My guess the cop was following this object there was no way he didnt see it. I got nervous looked forward sped all the way home.I was only able to see the object for seconds an as i was driving, during the incident I thought about pulling out my phone but didn't have enough time. Talked to my friend and asked if theres any radio towers or anything in the sky in that area and he assures me no. Whatever it was definitely wasnt a plane wish i could of look a little longer but i wanted to get home asap.

At 3:50 am, 2 of us heard the loudest, strangest noise, it sounded sort of like a helicopter landing, but even louder, extremely loud, but I could not see anything anywhere. It was bizarre. It shook the house. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
