Circle over Worcester, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The UFO appeared to be green and round and was traveling from West to East. I believe it was lit up by the moon because it came from nowhere and disappeared after passing under the moon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174381). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Walking outside of my job, I looked up to see the moon and noticed the larger object hovering. After a minute or so I got another employee and asked if they saw the same thing. They saw the larger object and as I continued to look I saw 2 smaller ones come into view. They then came together into a triangle arrangement before disappearing. From when I saw the first object til when they disappeared was about 10 minutes. Also about 10 minutes after losing sight of the object a helicopter flew around the area.

I was walking north along Major Taylor Boulevard when I saw what looked like a very fast moving private jet (white sliver) It caught my eye and the more I looked, the odder it became. It wasn’t too far up in the sky, and at one point looked like two white balls/tic tacs flying in unison next to each other, and then again switched back to looking like a white sliver, the original shape which I thought looked like a private jet. I checked flight radar and there were no flights in the area at the time. Unfortunately, I only had the chance to take pictures and so there is no video. I also attached flight radar info to confirm it was not a private jet.

Upon seeing the object, I thought it was a plane but took a video because it seemed off to me. I didn’t think much of it until I checked the flight radar for Worcester. There were no planes in the sky at the time of my video recording. With the size and speed it was moving I assumed it has to be a plane, but according to the flight radar there was nothing in the air at the time of the video. I attached a flight radar map showing the area i was in and an arrow pointing in the direction I was facing. The only airplane on the radar was on the ground at the local airport.

While driving back home from a haircut on May 6, 2023, I noticed an object in a fairly cloudless sky. The object was shaped like a Tic Tac - and from my vantage point was unmoving. I pulled over to take video for roughly 13 seconds before moving along as where I was pulled over wasn't fully "off" the road. I didn't want to obstruct traffic. After pulling away, I lost sight of the object. From my vantage point, I couldn't see any fins, tails or markings like you usually can from an aircraft. The object did not seem to gain in size or decrease in size - which from my vantage point - looked as if it was hanging in midair. The Worcester Airport is just to the left of where this object is seen. When filming the object, I tired to stay as zoomed out as possible to decrease shakiness.

Large flash, west from where I was, size is hard to say from a flash, maybe 1/6 of the moon across, possibly less, definitely larger than a regular star or planet. white in the middle, blue-green around the edges. When I noticed it it was low in the sky, I want to say about 15 degrees up. It was moving down very fast and went below the horizon about one second after I saw it. It was behind some dead trees, which made it harder to see. I hadn't seen it earlier because I was using binoculars and only saw it when I lowered them from my eyes, so I don't know when or where it first appeared.
