Changing over South Topsail Beach, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
DATE: MAY/ 28/ 2014 9:25PM LOCATION- South Topsail Beach/Surf City (near the old watch tower) One orange glowing ball and/or balls- the color was alot like the sun on a late afternoon. SIZE- it was in my perspective off in the sky - the object(s) were about the size of the eraser end of a pencil in circumference What happened????- The first orange ball appeared( became visible) in the sky- and almost instantaneously (give or take two or three seconds), the second orange ball became visible right beside (side-by-side) with the first ball (like the two balls looked like they were touching)- the second ball then simultaneously with what seemed like supersonic speed shot over directly to the right of the first ball* (about 1 or 2 inches separated the two balls in my perspective- then again almost instantaneously a line exactly the color of the two orange balls shot out to the right and connects the two balls to one another- it was almost like a laser or whatever you would call it was shot from the first ball to the second and connected them. SHAPE- the general shape of what I saw was a lot like a line segment on a line graph **TIME- the entirety of the event was roughly 2-4 seconds( give or take)- like I said the whole thing happened so fast hard to really pin point exact time

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.
