The report, as filed
Above the habour, right before fireworks began. My son, Mother, and I noticed a bright vertical craft moving oddly towards the beach across the water. It was very bright and low in the sky,, it had a faint blinking light under it. It didnt emig any sound or trail. It stopped 1-3 times very briefly, then slowly faded out into nothing beforw our eyes. It happened within 1-2 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170802). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
