Triangle over Whiteville, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
About 9:15 on April 22, 2015 I was sitting outside on patio watching a plane going south to my left. When above me appeared a very large v shaped light pattern. The lights did not blink but we're round and pale yellow white color. They seemed brighter around edges and paler in the middle. There were 5 lights in tota, and it made no sound. Compared to the plane, I had just seen it was massive in size. It moved in a northerly direction quickly. I went in the house to get my son, but it was gone by the time he came out. I must have watched in disbelief for a minute or so before I went to get him.

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.
