Light over Tiverton, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on flight NK2060 MCO-BOS seating on 25A (window on Port side of the plane) enjoying my vacation. The descent had already started and we were around 15 minutes from landing. I estimate the altitude should be around 6000 feet. I was looking at the window and recognizing other Aircraft models that passed by (I like to do that since I work at an airport and I’m interested in planes). I recognized several of them, but suddenly I saw this spherical object reflecting very bright white blueish light going SW direction. I mean it passed in the opposite direction we were heading and I could see it for about 7 seconds and I didn’t have enough time to grab a camera. It passed by us I would say not more than 1 mile below and 1 mile East and moved at at least double speed of other aircrafts. It had nothing to do with any aspect of an aircraft.

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.

Watching the sunset We seen a plane and it’s exhaust from the motor,Behind it comes an aircraft and flies directly through the single engine planes exhaust.He then slowly passed the plane then quickly put miles of space between them in seconds.The ufo flew out of my image while the plane was still miles behind.The ufo did this with no sign of exhaust.The pilot of the plane that day was certain to have reported something unexplained.I did manage to capture the image right before it disappeared behind the city line.This was the most vivid sighting I’ve ever had .

I was watching the sunset after my son had got me out of the house finally from telling me two different times that he kept seeing something in the sky. When I seen a single engine airplane creating exhaust clouds. I then noticed another object following it as it proceeded to gain on the airplane following in the plane am exhaust clouds.The UAP then passed the plane and put much distance between them. The object never once let out any similar exhaust from a motor like engine a typical airplane would have. The object most DEFINITELY came in contact with that air pilot. I wouldn’t doubt if he made a report himself as the UAP was extremely close to the plane as it passed it..It followed the exact path of the airplane from the beginning of the planes clouds to passing it. As the UAP went into airplanes clouds it wasn’t able to be seen.

As I was closing my blind for the night, I happened to look up into the sky directly across from my window and noticed a huge craft shaped like a diamond with lights on both sides and the object looked like a diamond shape. The lights never blinked but it hovered over the trees for about 4 minutes, jerked forward a little then took off in a direction over my house. I heard no noise and when it took off it seemed as though the lights went off. The lights seemed to come down into a point from both sides. There only seemed to be one large object.

My daughter and I were driving home from Fall River on RT. 24 when we saw a round shaped craft of some sort in the sky. The lights were very bright, flashing blue, green, red and white. It hovered for a few seconds and started to slowly move behind some trees. We arrived home and we could still vaguely see it. There was no sound. We watched as we vacated our vehicle. The lights became dim and it then disappeared.

Tiverton, RI
We saw 5 of these oblong shaped fireballs in the sky tonight. Each dropped out from within the clouds and went in a South Westerly direction. There were planes in the area following these things so someone knows what they are or has seen them at a closer distance. The planes and one helicopter are still out there searching at this time which is 17:30. These fireballs seemed to almost stop at times, before moving along and through my binoculars they pretty much looked like a ball of radiated fire. I took pictures on my cell phone and even though they're not that clear, you can tell that they're some sort of a flaming craft of some sort even though there is no visible structure to these things. I'm stumped.
