Light over Meredith, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog when I noticed a light flying across the sky. There was no sound and normally I'd hear a plane, it was also just a single light and wasn't blinking red and white like airplanes do. I've had sightings in the past so I pulled out my phone and filmed it cross the sky. In the past I've seen a single light like this make a very fast zig zag maneuvre before accelerating out of sight at impossible speed, (though this object just travels straight across the sky), which is why I decided to film. I'm not sure what this is, but I wanted to pass it along. I'm fine with being contacted for follow up if needed (or if the video didn't upload), but I'd prefer to remain anonymous in any publishing (web or otherwise). Also, I'm not usually up until the afternoon.

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.

My friend and I were sitting outside. My friend noticed a light moving across the sky and pointed it out to me. I thought it was a satellite. But withing a few seconds there was another one and then another one and so on. They all seemed to be flying in the same line. It looked as though they were flying in different lines. But very close together and very close in line as well. So much that you would certainly assume it was a group. The ones we saw first the light seemed constant. The ones to toward the end seemed to be changing. Almost blinking but it wasnt. I immediately down went online to a flight tracking site to see the air traffic above my location and the closest plane was more than 40 miles away in a different direction. And given the terrain where I live. It doesn't allow you to see that far across the horizon. When I got no where with that I then went to a site showing satellite activity above location. Again there wasn't anything above us. After thinking about it more whatever it was or is. Was at an extremely high altitude. Much higher than what passenger planes would fly at. I honestly have no explanation for it.

I would not have noticed the aircraft except that it turned on a powerful search light which lit up the room and I was able to track its progress through the area. It appeared to be about 8 feet thick and about 15 feet in diameter, dark colored, with no shine. It continued North on Weed road until it went out of sight. My first thought was it's a new secret military scout aircraft and this would be a great place for cold weather testing. But, who knows? With the search light off it would be almost impossible to track visually.

I was driving my girlfriends car when I looked to the right about 400 to 800ft above the tree line I seen a metallic sphere. When I looked at it sound in general stopped. No wind or birds it was very calm. Close to sunset and I told my gf to take a picture of it cause it was so still and stuck in the sky as if it was attached to a solid structure. Then we went by a set of trees and I tryed to find it again but it was gone. Never though about it again until I seen several pictures and videos of the same object. Note :we didn't get a picture until we drove a ways down the road. We had a better view of it right as we came into the clearing.

It was 2017 wont let me change the date. I remember it was extremely quiet outside and it hovered about 500 to 800 ft above the ground . (Based on drone flying as a hobby looked about that height). It was at a distance of a 1/4 mile from us . Silver in color and very still as if it was a pin on a map. We got a few picture and our view was obstructed for 15 seconds . On the other side when we looked again it was gone. We were in town for a family event . I live in Rhode island. I'm reporting now years later because what I'm seeing in the news looks exactly like what I had seen . I'm a firm believer of the scientific method and have been skeptical . I do know that I've never seen anything like it in my life . My girlfriend was in the passenger side of the car and took the photos.

Me and my girlfriend was walking from a store and we turned down a road and I commented how weird the sky looked because there were stars on one side but not on the other and we walked down the street a couple more minutes and I turned to say something to my girlfriend and i saw what looked to be like a fireball or a comet but the flaming tail was white then turned orange then green shooting out of the sky like it was going to crash it looked like it was gonna crash like a comet or meteor would into the tree line ahead of us there was no noise and it was so close to us and it just disappeared I thought it crashed but there was no noise no smoke no nothing I nudged my girl and pointed it out to her as it was passIng us and asked does she see that she said yes we ran down the road to see if we could see anything that would show that it crashed but there was nothing I'm still trying to figure out what it was it freaked me out a little cause I have no explanation of what it was that we saw It was moving fast like a comet
