Triangle over Westminster, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The date is 9/27/14 and the time is 9:05 pm et. My best friend and her husband and kids stay on my property right now and they were waiting on dominos to deliver. They were hanging out outside next to my mommas car. I went out to speak with my niece and I looked up in the sky and coming over my across the street neighbors' home were these 3 lights. they were huge, triangle shaped and yellowish in color, than 3 more come over the home and again 3 more. We just stood there looking up at them as they passed by, I could see the clouds in between the 3 triangular "ships" but could not see the clouds through the "ships". It took a total of 2 to 3 minutes for them to pass. Than they just disappeared. My husband was in the 82nd airborne so I know what planes etc. look like from beneath at night, I have watched the night sky my entire life because I love stars, and have seen flares and fireworks in the sky many times, but never have I seen anything like this! . They were going north east (I think can show which way if followed up on). All of us saw it and still cant figure out what it was. We are willing to speak to any professional who would like to follow up.

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.

I noticed something odd, at first dismissed the idea and thought of another airplane flying by. However as I continued to star gaze and enjoy the moon so close, the lighted aircraft began to move in unusual maneuvers. As if a kid flying a kite the movement was similar, that’s what made me think something odd and strange. It briefly disappeared only to reappear close enough to see what resumed to be any other aircraft with red and white blinking lights flying a straight pattern. There was almost no sound made when it flew by, unlike the jets that fly over daily. My dog barked most of the night, he has never done that on any other night.
