As reported

Unknown over Unsure, ME

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

The report, as filed

The craft was first noticed by one of the people I was with. We had driven to a state park I forgot the name of. It was something along the lines of “fairy beach” or “fairy road”. “Fairy beach” could have been the name of the beach we were on when we saw it. When I first saw it I thought it was a plane or a kite or maybe a balloon, however, it wasn’t making any noise and it was rotating the opposite direction of me and to my 11 o’clock (end over end and side over side), aka front left. It was rotating quite slowly and it was a shiny silver chrome color. Light seemed to be reflecting off of it but the light didn’t extend beyond the border of the object itself. The light was constant without even a slight flicker or pulse. I looked away to ask if someone could take a picture of it and when I did it caused them to look away too. We didn’t get a picture because one of their phones had died and the other had a broken camera. That, I believe, is why none of us saw it disappear until it was gone which I pointed out to the others. The entire time the craft made no noise and I trust that we wouldn’t have seen it if one of the others hadn’t looked that direction for 30 seconds longer. I don’t think it could have been much more than one thousand feet in the air.

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.
