Circle over Goodletsville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a large bright orange light in the sky east of town. I stopped get a better look at it thinking it may be an airliner coming in to land, but as I watched it I noticed that it was pulsing seemingly changing in size! It was moving slowly to to South and descending I pulled my cell phone out to take a picture and as I looked down to turn the camera on it vanished. The sky was clear and the stars were visible.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111150). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
