Triangle over Weddington/Wesley Chapel, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home from work around 9 p.m., saw a bright light in the distance that I thought was a planet at first. I got closer and assumed it was a plane because there are a couple airports nearby, but thought it was odd the plane wasn't coming closer nor going away. It kind of moved across the street and I was able to make out its triangular shape with 3 distinct lights on each point. They were pulsing and the object flew just low enough that I could distinctly see its trianfular silhouette above the trees on Weddington Road. It didn't make any sound and was completely motionless except for pulsing light. I was able to completely pass it with my car. I've always been skeptical of UFOs but this was the oddest thing.

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.
