Triangle over Ellendale, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On my way to work I saw 3 white lights in a triangle formation, hovering above the tree line at the end of my road. Around the three main lights there appeared to be a few, smaller lights flashing. The object did not move, until about 10-15 seconds after I witnessed the object. The lights slowly started to dim as the object began moving slowly towards the north until it totally disappeared. A passerby stopped at the side of the road after witnessing the same object. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112266). 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.
