Light over Clarkesville, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On July 4th, my husband pointed out what seemed to be a very bright star that was flashing intermittently red and green lights. The object hovered in the sky and seemed to bounce. It would move up and down and then sideways with no pattern to it and then it darted off. After about 20 mins it returned with 2 more that were exactly like it and bounced around some more. The objects floated in a triangle pattern. I took video with my phone but it is not the best quality although you can see the objects flashing of colors. On July 5th the objects returned only this time they were floating over our house and this time in a straight line. Two of them darted off after about ten mins which left one bouncing alone. He vanished after 5 more mins.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111172). 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.

I was outside on the back porch of my mountain cabin next to a fire pit when I noticed some lights seemingly stationary behind the trees but high in the air about 1/2 mile away. There are no towers or tall buildings in the area. As I watched I realized the lights were part of an arrangement of three bright flashing lights affixed to a single object. The lights were moving slowly right to left in a northwest direction along the ridge line. They remained about 300-500 feet above the ground, slowing to a near stop briefly and then continuing. There was no sound. The object slowly disappeared behind the mountain top. I was able to capture it on video. This is a second home. I am 53, male, live full time in Atlanta, a licensed attorney and former FBI Agent. I have never seen anything like this before.
