Triangle over Winifrede, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night my crew was working up Winifrede hollow,South of Charleston, WV, when looked up and saw 3 triangle shaped objects lined with lights, in formation,very close, very slow, no noises, and 1 object with flashing red lights at the end of this formation. It took about 15 minutes for these things to pass overhead. They were maybe a thousand or so ft. above us and each one was the size of a football field except the one with the red flashing lights which was a lot smaller. There were no noises at all which was very eerie.

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.
