Triangle over Carrboro, NC

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was out jogging down Rock Haven Road/BPW club. I saw two bright hazy orbs in the west- south western sky. They were basically in line with Carrboro High School's track and field area. It was cloudy last night, so I thought it was the moon coming through the clouds. These lights looked as bright as the moon, and had the same slightly yellowish-white color. I proceeded to jog for approximately two more minutes, when I looked up at the sky, what I thought was the moon had shifted its position in the sky. The lights were no longer in line with the track and field area, and appeared from my vantage to now be at the north end of the high school. I continued to jog, now about to turn on BPW club, when I could actually see the object moving at approximately the same speed I was running (~6 mph) to the North-north east. The two original orbs were visible, and I thought I could make out a dimmer third light. There was no sound. I was alone and got frightened. I discontinued observing the object and jogged back to my apartment. While doing so, I called my mother, thus I did not experience any sort of electrical interference. It should be noted, that I could not easily tell how far the object was away from me, so my estimates of speed are likely very incorrect.

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.

While I was driving down Highway 54 at 12:25am on October 4, 2016, in Carrboro, NC, out of the corner of my left eye to the southwest of 54 A rather prominent & radiant spherical shape suddenly appeared in the night sky, hovering above at about the distance a helicopter would be. This low-flying ball of light was bright green/turquoise and translucent; the light emitted seemed to glow and rotate within itself it also seemed to leave behind a fast fading light trail as well. It moved quickly and silently across the night sky and seemed to be descending. My windows were down and this Light-Object did not make any sounds, it faded out of view and the entire experience lasted only a handful of seconds. I exited onto Jones Ferry Road and kept my eye on the sky, but did not notice any further activity. This object was unlike anything I had every previously seen. It did not seem to match the traditional description of any aircraft, or astronomical activity that I am traditionally familiar with or have seen.

Then it turned and I could see it was shaped like a hat with a brim. It then started going higher in the sky. It was not going super fast, but obviously faster than an airplane. It just kept going up and up and getting smaller and smaller until it was no longer visible.
