Light over Freedom, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
myself and my fiancée were out watching the stars .... it was a clear evening with multiple satellites and aircraft going over. Being from the UK im used to light pollution so this was very special - no light pollution at all! my attention was drawn to what at first appeared to be a satellite - it was about 30 degrees above the horizon and was brighter than previous satellites. It was traveling from the NW towards the North at a 'normal' satellite speed. However - it was bouncing / jumping up and down. I would describe it as having a similar appearance to a trace from an ECG monitor. I asked my fiancée if she was seeing the same as me and she confirmed that she was. i know what a satellite looks like - i know what starlink looks like. I work at an airport and am familiar with all known aircraft. I have no idea what this was......

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.
