Oval over Bristol to Middletown, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
White tick tack shaped object. 2 in close proximity moving quicker than airplane. Have video and photos. One seems to disappear into thin air. Attached are Live Photos and video on iPhone. Be aware they are hard to spot, you have to zoom in and then u can see them clear as day. The Live Photo will show it disappear into thin air. I have more photos, but only 4 can be uploaded here.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178284). 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.
