Triangle over Gill, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While satellite watching on 12/24/22 @ approx 6:25 pm, started tracking a satellite in the E/s/e sky to the lower right of the Pleiades star cluster, about the 10:00 position. Then noticed it was possibly 3 satellites moving in unison or one large object alone, silent regardless.The viewing lasted around 30 seconds as it traveled in the same direction indicated. As an avid planet and stargazer and tracking satellites as a norm, The spacing between the lights seemed too far apart to be any type of known mapping satellites, as these usually run in tandem one after the other on a straight trajectory. I also don’t believe it was any Starlink satellites for the same reasons.

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.
