Light over Southampton, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The first light was stationary for maybe two or three minutes and blinked every second or so at regular intervals. It was in the East. Not as high as star and higher than an cell tower. I know the area well and it was neither of those. Slowly, the light moved West and then the white light blinked alternatively with a red light. It was lower and slower than a typical airplane or helicopter. It continued West and was joined by another object of the same nature, also blinking white and red moving from the South to North. They appeared to move West together, nearly side by side. Lost sight due to trees blocking my view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175244). 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.
