Unknown over Williamstown, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While eating lunch I looked at the sky behind my friend and saw a bright star like object in the sky, about 25-30 people outside saw it as well. Filmed it for a few seconds seeing a sort of like ringed shape on the phone. After lunch ended (was already near end) we went inside and I looked back and it was gone. Looked on flight radar app day later and a black hawk appeared in the same spot as the object, and I saw a black SUV with police lights going up towards it a day or 2 later.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168399). 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.

Driving east across Petersburg Pass on Route 2, 100 yards past the Mass border with NY. Hovering on the west side of the road about 200 feet high, above a heavily forested area, was an object I could not identify. The top section of the object was a bright red/orange donut shape about 3-5 feet around. Below the donut, a 5-10 foot long white pyramidal spike shape pointed at the ground. The spike had either 3 or 4 sides; I could not tell for sure. I observed it for about 3 to 5 seconds before our car went past it and we went around a turn. At the first opportunity, I turned around a few hundred yards further in a parking area and went back up toward the top of the pass to try to see it again. However, it was no longer visible.
