Diamond over Granby, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving down the road I saw a light in the sky but it was cloudy so I thought it was just the moon. Then the object came out of the clouds and at first I thought it was an airplane as I saw more lights, but I noticed it was going extremely slow and very low to the ground. That sparked my attention and all of a sudden I caught up to it. It was to the left of me and then crossed over me and started hovering over the field. May I repeat that it was very very low to the ground and was just sitting there almost seeming to be aiming the front of the aircraft downwards a bit. I then pulled over and it sat there for a few more seconds hovering over the field and then it hovered away slowly over the tree line until I could no longer see it.

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.
