Triangle over Cumberlandd Foreside, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While waiting to watch meteors from last night's meteor shower I noticed an object flying southbound exhibiting a triangular shape display of six blinking red then white lights. Each color remained for a second before changing. the white looked like the color of a white LED the red was similar to a red LED. The object moved at a constant speed and direction. the speed appeared to be similar to that of a high-flying jet. the Object disappeared behind a cloud over Portland before I could get my camera. Being a former air traffic controller and pilot for 50 years, I feel this was not a typical aircraft. a check of PWM tower and Boston ARTCC have no aircraft being tracked at that time in the area.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164331). 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.
