Diamond over Elizabethtown, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving on the interstate when two white and one red light flew into our sight ahead of our car. The red light appeared to divide into two red lights and the four lights formed a diamond shape. We had to keep driving but as I was looking, it continued in a zig-zag pattern above the interstate and hills surrounding it. The four lights converged into one large red light and then separated. It repeated this another time until it disappeared from my sight behind the trees. I could see the glowing red light from about one and a half miles down the road because of its brightness. It happened in an area surrounding the interstate which was hilly and covered with trees. There were some fields. I'm not sure if the field had crops or livestock since it was dark. The sky was cloudy, so I couldn't see any stars. It wasn't near an airport either. Someone said it was a helicopter, but the windows were open and I didn't hear any noise. It was also flying fairly low.

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.

Curtains were open, blue object had no sound and hoovered long enough to flash me with white beam through window, then floated away. It was very late at night. Will take lie detector test. Other things have been happening too, since the incident. I have audio I'd like someone to hear.

The object moved from Northeast to Southwest at a slow steady speed.there was no noise from the craft. There where fire works in the area, but not close enough to drowed out engine noise. The entire event lasted approximately 4 minutes.at which point the craft disappeared. I am certain that the radar at Ft. Knox observed the craft. End of report.

While traveling northbound on I-65 today heading toward Louisville, I saw a bright light flashes. The light resembled a star. It was high in the sky. The light flashed distinctive times in 3 places far apart in the western sky. I had on HD type sunglasses at the time I saw it. I could not see any craft such as an airplane that might have reflected the sun. Also, the speed and distance between the flashes seemed to me to rule out an aircraft.

We live approximately 6 miles south of Elizabethtown, KY, and approximately 16 miles south of Fort Knox. At approximately 2230, on 4 Sep. 14, while walking my dogs, I noticed four bright objects, flickering red/green and hovering in the South/Southwest sky. At first I thought the objects were aircraft on approach glide path to Louisville Airport (SDF). They were evenly spaced and staggered: 2 aligned and higher in altitude, and 2 aligned at a lower altitude. After observing the objects for about 5 minutes I noticed that they were not moving. The objects in the southern sky appeared as follows: * * * * I brought my wife and 16 year old son outside to observe, and to help me identify the objects. We noticed a fifth object of similar size and shape flickering red/green to the West at about the same altitude as the other four. We watched the objects for about 20 minutes. The objects did not move from their positions and continued to flicker red and green. Other air traffic moved througout the sky near objects. Objects appeared to react towards aircraft by emitting a beam (very quick to the eye) and/or turning towards aircraft in an aggressive manner.
