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.

Awoke at 4 am. Went outside to smoke cigarette. Also looked to see what weather was like. I noticed the clouds were thick and dense. There were no stars visible and no aircraft apparent at this time. I live 15 miles from an airport and do notice aircraft daily. There are no trees in my yard and I have large open neighborhood as well. As I stared out, looking toward South, I noticed light above me. When I looked up I saw two lights traveling from the North, coming directly over me. They appeared to be no more than 150ft in the air. I watched as the traveled. I could clearly see them below the clouds and were not a part of any aircraft nor attached to object/drone. I watched for about 7 seconds as they then turned off. I felt fear come over me for I was aware there was no other explanation I could fathom for these lights being there.. This was very close and highly visible… This was no mistake for aircraft (NO noise and not consistent in speeds of typical airplane/copter) or stars as clouds were so thick and covering entire sky. I went back into home to retrieve phone and had came back out. As I stepped out I could see that one of those orbs or lights was turned back around and headed back In direct North path it had originally came in from. The other light was not visible. The light visible then also turned off or burned out just as the porch door closed. I could still see a sort of ember or outline of the light r but I am not sure it wasn't just my eyes adjusting to what they had just seen. Morning bird chirping was the only sound.

Driving North on Hwy 11, at 3:55 pm, I noticed the sun reflecting of of what I thought was a jet. I noticed the was no vapor trail and the object did not move. I thought maybe it was a helicopter but again it shined like chrome and did not move. There was no sign of any rotors as well. After keeping an eye on it for a few minutes my wife and I also noticed a second object just like the first at the same altitude facing the same direction as the first. The second craft was east of the first one. We proceed to Knoville and returned via Interstate 75 south passing the Lenoir City exit and noticed the object still in the same place. By his time approximately one and a half hours had passed.

My wife and I were on our way to work. She said what's that. I turned to see a triangular very dark in color, probably black, shaped object. It "flew"-"hovered" extremely slow just over the powerlines. It had two constant lights in the bottom center and flashing lights on its extreme edges. It was massive. It made NO noise to be heard. Our first thought was at that speed and altitude that it was on a controlled crash coarse for a field a half mile away. No crash reported. We did not know who to tell or what to do.
