Circle over Fall River, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving home, I witnessed two round white lights in the sky over Route 24 North. They were not very close together, maybe a couple hundred feet apart if I had to guess, the left one slightly lower than the right. They appeared to hover rather than move in any single direction. I kept my eye on them as elevation slightly changed on the highway. The lights either vanished entirely or descended, rendering them no longer visible to me. This all took about 30 seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167391). 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.

On Oct 4th 2023 at around 7:20p est as I was about to clock out for lunch, I noticed what appeared to be a plane's smoke trail. I found this strange as it was dark out and it looked like a fire trail. "I took 2 photos but it was to fast" I initially thought that maybe it was a meteorite or something until the next day I zoomed into the pictures and one looks like a triangular shaped object with a sphere in its center. It also appears to be climbing altitude at the time of shot. I honestly believe I have captured a true photo of a U.A.P. I showed the photo to a friend at Camp Edwards and his exact words were "It ain't ours" [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Probable]

A bright but a very distant light that continuously would blink and move in erratic motions. Left to right to up to down and then from Northwest to Southwest Etc. The light would reappear in a different space Within seconds. I was able to take photos and a brief video. This was not the satellite. There was no straight line of the movement of the light. Please see photos and video. This happened in southeast Massachusetts above Fall River Massachusetts. My name is ((name deleted)) and my phone number is 508-((telephone number deleted)). My 22-year-old son also witnessed it. He was actually the one who came into the house to get me to show me.

Woke up and Stepped outside around 3:47AM to the front porch. As soon as I stepped out I looked up and seen an object traveling north no more than a few blocks out. It almost immediately stopped and went straight down until unseen by the houses in the area. No camera, I do know my Landlord has a Ring Door Bell although I am unaware if anything other than me stepping out is captured. I held off on reporting it because I thought it was a drone at first but it was too high and large and came down too quickly.

Early Monday morning, I was sitting on my deck looking north east that's when I noticed a large red and orange ball of light just under the cloud covering.The ball of light hung in the sky then slowly started to descend. I would say it resembled a sunset but without lighting up the whole sky.The ball of light lasted about 3 minutes before disappearing.I was able to take about four pictures of the glowing ball of light.

Was in a dark area sitting in my in vehicle. Heard a low pitched noise from the sky. When I looked up, I initially saw nothing, but a few seconds later a very large triangular object appeared. The body of the object was difficult to see, however there was a bright red light at the point that illuminated the triangular shape. It almost looked like the body was invisible, but I could see the outline of the object. In amazement I watched it hover slowly over the area and it just disappeared. I looked around to see where it may have gone, but it never reappeared. The sky was clear and the moon was very bright. It traveled in a northerly direction. I've never observed anything like it before.

The lights were blinking and swirling in circles. I first thought it was stars but they started to move across the sky.
