Triangle over Chelsea, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I walked outside in my back yard around 8:45 pm CST and noticed 8 stationary objects in the NE sky. They each had 3 red lights and appeared to have a triangle shape. The objects hovered in a semi-circle formation for approx 3-5 mins and then disappeared. There wasn't any type of noticable sound like you would hear with a normal airplane. This was definitely not anything I've ever seen before!

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.

Coming in from work we could see a white light in the sky that wasn’t moving. 2 adults witnessed this with one of the adults being a first responder. The other adult video taped the event. The light would move to the left then move to the right, while it was being videotaped it disappeared and then reappeared. In the video the light pulsates and changes color. After 30 minutes it disappeared and didn’t come back.

First saw 2 white cigar-shaped objects flying parallel to each other, but not touching. I thought they looked like missiles, but they were travelling pretty slowly. They disappeared into the sunlight and I didn't see them after that. About 20 minutes later, I saw a third white cigar-shaped object of similar size in the sky. It was moving until it, too, disappeared after just a couple of minutes. I was certain it was different from a plane or helicopter.
