Light over Elizabeth, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went out to get my kids stuffed animal from the car, and as i looked up into the sky i saw a bright light speeding across the sky faster than any plane or craft i have ever seen fly over before. There was no sound at all and out of all the planes i have watched many nights and all the shooting stars i have seen this was different in many ways. The amount of distance that was covered in the short amount of time was faster than any jet i have seen on air shows, it was just different. It was a bright light no sound and just constant speed until it vanished across the sky.

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 saw a light that looked like a star at first, because it was so high up in the night sky, until it started moving. After a few seconds it seemed to flash right at me like someone was shining a flashlight in my direction from way up in the sky and then it was gone. I was shocked and had to ask myself if my mind was playing tricks on me. (( For some reason, itness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD)
