Cigar over Newton, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
They are multi flashing lights, they look oblong in shape, and one seems to get longer, then shorter… They are just sitting there, its not a plane or helicopter. It’s really weird. It’s like they are watching me… We have changed the time above, in order that the report reflects an evening sighting. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118753). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

It moved rapidly but I managed to get my seven year old daughter in position before it passed where we could not see. It might have been a Mylar balloon, but it was moving way too fast for what I know.
