Flash over Barnet, VT

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Orange flashes of light, varying positions in sky (not as high as stars, but high above mountains nearby). The light flared & then disappeared (did not rise or fall). Once two flashes appeared almost at the same time in the same place (first one flared, second one flared before first disappeared), & then a red light moved away toward the West, & the red light was brief but visible longer than the orange; the red light was much smaller diameter & did not flash as one would see on an airplane. The sky was dark, spotty clouds to the East, stars present high in the sky. These orange lights were not like fireworks nor like aircraft lights. They appeared to be larger than a star, & very bright orange. They appeared & were gone almost immediately. 7 total.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175084). 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.
