Light over Cropper, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving down this road, which has a lot of curves and trees on it, I came out into a clearing and noticed in the sky that there were 4 flashing lights in the sky. They were white and fixed in place, so I’m not sure if I saw one big craft or four individual ones. There is only one tower around that area, and it’s on the right-hand side of the field clearing, while these lights were straight in front of where I was driving. I have lived in this area for very long and know there are no other towers towards the direction of the lights. I have decided to post this because this isn’t the only time it’s happened in that same area. It happened on April 12th of this year (2015), around 11 pm. I remember this because I made a post on my facebook about it because I was freaking out. Around that time, I was coming home from my boyfriend’s house. Right before I go into the trees that surround the curve before the clearing, I had to slow down and stop for some deer on the road. At at moment, a star caught my eye. The star started to glow more brightly and became a green color. The light then proceeded to get larger as if coming closer and moved to the right in a speed faster than I’ve seen any plane move, and then shoot straight down. As I came out of the trees, into the clearing, the green light could be seen between some trees, not high up, but not quite on the ground either, it was just eerily floating in place. I came home, freaked out of my mind, called my boyfriend for some peace of mind since this was my first! abnormal encounter. Today, when I came back after seeing the white, flashing lights, my dad told me that sometimes as he comes into that same clearing, he sees the same green light hovering, and when he turns on the curve up ahead, the green light is gone. There are not many people who live out here in the country, so I’m not sure if there’s any more witnesses to these happenings around this area.

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.
