Formation over Forest Hills, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving northbound on Granny White Pike my wife and I saw 4 orange/red shapes in an almost square formation that seemed to be slowly headed east. They seemed to maintain the same distance from each other and were moving slowly. Hard to tell what they were, but they didn't have any blinking lights that I could make out. My parents driving behind us saw them too. They were at least a couple miles away.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112379). 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.
