Formation over Homewood, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went out to smoke a cigarette at my apartment and was gazing at the moon, when suddenly lights appeared from the west at an instantaneous pace. They were one behind the other in a line and came upon the city lights and seemed to stop and file into a V formation. The within a second disappeared up and west again. Then they were absent from sight. Like if they were aircraft I have never seen any US aircraft move that fast and suddenly. I froze and gasped! This was not of our planet unless there is another country far ahead of the US. I believe they were from another planet just scoping. I am not nuts. I ignored it til I saw a film "Forgotten Phoenix". It was supposedly base on a true story about the "Phoenix Lights". OMG the footage whether real or not looked very much like what I saw in Birmingham, Alabama!!! Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. 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.

Triangular craft, red and blues lights--I believe we caught a side view of it. It moved very swiftly back and forth, almost like a drone but much too fast, high, and clearly intelligent to have been one. It would curve, hover, and dip in the air. It looked as though it were watching the Vulcan that night as the fireworks went off, the entire time. It would hover downward into the trees every now and again, only twice throughout the duration of time, and always either in a curved motion or a clean vertical hover. I have multiple videos of this experience.

Bright light like a star but much brighter, a little bigger and moving, and light(s) flickering. First seen above treeline (still far away), and gradually moved higher up in the sky. Would be still for a while and then move a little. It's now 4:30 a.m. and it is still there. NOT a star. I tried to take a photo, but it was too far away to get. We suspect that the object may have been a "twinkling" star, but cannot be certain. Original date was flawed. Possible hoax?? PD
