Triangle over Springfield, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking due west at approximately 60 degrees up, there was a triangle shaped area that was completely black with an occasional tiny white light which showed on the west edge of it. It was a crystal clear night and we had seen numerous satellites and shooting stars. We observed a satellite approach the triangle and actually disappear as it passed ( presumably ) above the triangle. It then appeared on the other side. Something was there blocking out light. We then saw three smaller lights fly in different directions around the object and eventually disappear at the object. It remained in the area approximately an hour and was just suddenly gone. Never saw it move, it just was suddenly not there. Stars which had been covered were then visible. None of us had seen anything like this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171955). 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.
