Circle over Assateague Island, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw it first, and I didn’t say anything. Semi straight line, but not perfect. Yellow haze around the objects. There was 4 circular objects, flying from one star to another. It came from one star, past at least 8 stars, then disappeared behind another star. It lasted for about 5 minutes, but when my family saw it, it disappeared less than 30 seconds after. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178979). 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.
