Light over Bethera, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
About 9:30ish I was outside my home and noticed a very bright light in the sky above the tree line. It appeared to be a really unusually bright star. This struck me as very odd as I don’t think I have ever seen a star that bright. It seemed to flicker and move ever so slightly with a side to side motion. No noise or sound came from this object. A neighbor drove up and I asked him if he had ever seen a star that bright. t struck us both as out of the norm. He went back in the house and I continued to watch for about 10 mins or so, and then went back in the house to get my son, it was gone when we came back out 3 mins later. Neither noise nor significant movement was observed although it was flickering the whole time. This took place in Bethera, SC, beside the Marion National Forest.

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.
