Light over Petersburg, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Size of the light was a lot larger then a star, it's hard to describe the size of anything. If you placed a tennis ball 15' in the air it was around the same size as that would be in relation to it being high in altitude, much larger then a star. It had no curve in its path with a direction of mostly South, if anything it was south-southwest. Law Enforcement
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118879). 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.
