Unknown over Kill Devil Hills, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving south along the beach road (milepost 6.5), I observed (at first) 2 bright reddish lights in the sky moving slowly north. I pulled over and stopped the car and got out to have a closer look. I would estimate that the lights were just off shore (@ 1/4 mile away). I then noticed 2 more identical lights also moving slowly north. The first set of lights were low in the sky (one light was above and to the left of the second light) and they moved very slowly to the north and made no noise at all. The first set of lights passed by me and the first light appeared to make a right turn and went out to sea and disappeared. The second light followed the first light a few seconds later and also disappeared out to sea. I then focused on the second set of identical lights that appeared to be @ 1/4 mile behind the first set. They were in the very same formation and followed the first set out to sea. In total, I would estimate the event lasted @ 5 minutes. Witness provides no contact information. PD

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.

Over house behind us. I thought it might be ball lightning at first but over 2 photos I took that day it’s different number of anomalies. A friend brought it to my attention. Who knows. Just thought I’d send it in.

Stargazing while the geminids were going on and saw a formation of lights; a triangle and a line flying in parallel from the north to the south tracked across the horizon it crossed in a matter of seconds, and had a feeling that it might've been bending light around it as if it was a single craft.

This was taken from a balcony on the beach front at Kill Devil Hills North Carolina. This craft was slow moving but was able to vertically clime at 90 degrees at speeds that were unimaginable, almost as if it teleported. The object glowed a pale green and emitted no noise. At one point near the end of the sighting an unidentified black helicopter approached from over the water and began following the light. It then proceeded to vertically climb and disappeared. The helicopter proceeded to pull back and leave the area upon it climbing. Animals nearby also were on edge and or barking during this event.

When walking the dog Heard what sounded like a giant bird flapping its wings. At the same time my wife yelled oh and ask what was that? At the same time ask her what was the sound ? She stated that she seen a light in the sky that was traveling very fast headed toward the moon. What ever it was was very quiet and disappeared quickly. The entire incident was only about about 5 to 10 seconds

The entire incident was only about about 5 to 10 seconds. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

My daughter and I saw five ufos in a formation. They were shaped like a triangle but not a full triangle. They were dark orange and just seemed to vanish in the same place one after the other.
