Light over Derby, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
8 discs of red lights flying across Northern sky from the east. There was no sound and the red lights were very bright - there were 2 or 3 in sky at once. At a certain point in the North, they would just disappear - like the lights had been turned off. Then another one would come from the east and do the same thing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164859). 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.
