Light over Acushnet, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Neighbor text me and said look in the sky to the north. My wife and I looked up and seen 10 or so circular lights under heavy cloud cover moving in a circular pattern occasionally meeting a single light in the center then moving back around it. Lasted long enough to go inside and get my son and nephew who witnessed it as well. ( bad idea now they’re terrified) ! It appeared to be over the power lines, about a half mile through the woods. After 2 or 3 minutes I walked closer towards them and they flashed and disappeared!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170817). 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.
