Light over Charlottesville/Waynesboro, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from Bible Study in Charlottesville to Waynesboro on I-64. Around exit 113 which is Ivy exit. I saw a bright bright star or what I thought was a star on my left hand side driving west on 64. I tried to capture it on my cell phone but could not get a picture. After stopping to try to get a picture, I got back on the highway and it disappeared. It reappeared again on my right, but now there were two both very bright and one slightly behind the other and lower. Both faded away, and one reappeared again in front of me still driving west on 64. I took the exit 94 and saw it again same brightness and lower but on my left again. After getting on my street where I live I didn't see them anymore. This is the second time I have seen these lights. The first time again driving home from Bible Study but this one single one was a triangle shaped which kept fading in and out and each time in a different place. Didn't really scare me. I just found it odd. If these were stars, why were they brighter than the others and closer and odd shapes. We suspect a sighting of Venus and Jupiter, both of which are in the western sky, currently, during the early to late evening. PD

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.
