Oval over North Myrtle Beach, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
10:04 pm June 18, 2014 I was sitting outside my beach front hotel room overlooking the ocean near 2nd street south in North Myrtle Beach. When in front of me was a section in the sky that looked like lights blinking on and off directly out over the ocean. These lights were white lights. There were at least fifteen of them in a large group. I knocked on the door and let the others in the room know what was going on. They came out and saw the event as well. Then within the swarm as I’m going to call it, came these red circular lights that seemed to skip across the sky. The swarm moved slowly up the beach over about a 5 minute interval. Then started moving back down the beach over another 5 minute interval or so. Then as a plane was flying down the coastline above. It moved out to sea, then it moved down the beach and out of our sight. It blinked with those red circles at least fifteen to twenty times over the whole event which lasted at least 25 minutes. I walked out on the beach near the end of the event and another guy asked if I saw the ufo. Him and a girl with him was on the beach watching it as well.

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.

My husband and I were on the balcony of an oceanfront condo in North Myrtle Beach on Thursday night, June 25, 2020. Four bright orange orbs appeared in the sky over the ocean. They slowly disappeared. Then we saw two more in another part of the sky. My husband thought that it was military training and they were dropping flares, but they did not streak; they did not lose their shape; they just hovered until they disappeared. I had never seen anything like it. After that we saw a very large and bright orange star about 20 degrees above the horizon. I thought it could be Mars or Arcturus, but after googling their location it could not have been them. This was low in the sky about 9:30 pm and Arcturus is supposed to be high in the sky. We did not see the star again the next night.

We saw four orange lights several miles from the seashore about at approximately 1,500 feet altitude. My friend saw four in a circular pattern. He said look and I saw three in a triangular pattern. The lights were quite large in diameter. It lasted several seconds then disappeared at the same time.
