Light over Rainelle, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I walked outside onto our deck and saw 2 large yellow lights traveling in a Northwest direction in the sky. Each of them had a red strip of light on the undersides. Both lights came from the Southeast and traveled at a speed and distance equidistant from each other. They both suddenly stopped, hovered briefly, and then traveled in a Northern direction for a short distance, keeping the same separation distance as when I first saw them. They suddenly stopped again, hovered briefly, and then one traveled in an Eastward direction, away from the other, toward the town of Lewisburg, for a large distance and then fizzled out disappeared. The second one remained hovering for a short period of time and then elevated upward and fizzled out and disappeared like the first one.

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.
