Light over Topsail/Surf City, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A male walked up to get fresh air. I asked him if I am seeing things. He says no he sees them too, but he doesn't know what it is. They are changing colors, it looks like red to white. Very small, could be mistaken for stars. But they have moved all over the sky. And I can not say for sure how many!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113110). 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.
