Triangle over Indian Land, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Wednesday August 5, 2015, at between 2200-2300 hours, while on patrol, I observed a triangle shaped craft, with three red lights on it, traveling at a high rate of speed near Indian Land, SC/ Waxhaw NC. The craft was traveling south bound, just east of Hwy 521 in Indian Land, and west of Providence Road in Waxhaw, paralleling both roads. At first, I thought it was a private aircraft, due to several airports in the area, but as I work nights, I am familiar with the regular approach and departure patterns for the airport, and this craft was low, and traveling at a very high rate of speed, much faster than a normal aircraft. The body of the craft appeared black, and I was unable to make out any detail or cockpit. I did not hear any sound from the craft. I am reporting this after hearing the other report from the Weddington/ Wesley Chapel area in NC, which is literally just over the border. I am convinced that I witnessed the same craft that was reported on 8/5/15.

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.
