Changing over Mount Eden, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Early in the morning of July 6, 2014, an object hovered in the eastern sky over Shelby County, Ky. It was very bright, glowing almost to a white color and partially turning red at times. It would move slowly east and west and then bounce around and become still again. Once it seemed to break apart and join back together. It made no sound. I know where Venus appears in the morning sky and this was not Venus. Venus appeared at the appropriate time. From my observation in my back yard it could have been several thousand feet up. I viewed it through binoculars, and when it left, it shot across the sky at an incredible speed and was gone.

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.
