Light over Groveland, MA
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
The uppermost light increased in speed and shot straight up into the atmosphere and disappeared out of sight. Followed by the next object which increased in speed and shot up out of sight, followed by the next and so forth until all six were gone. It was incredible to see. I had my girlfriend come outside to see and she said oh my God! It was quite a sight. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

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.
