Light over Keswick, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
5 glowing orange red lights/fireballs not blinking slowly made their way across the sky from east-ish to west-ish. At first thought they were brightly glowing planets but they were too big and I realized they were moving. Then I thought they were planes but they moved too close together and the lights weren't blinking. At one point, they were in a perfect "w" formation directly in front of me across the sky as I was driving towards them. They kept moving slowly across until I lost sight them because of tree cover. I am an attorney and was returning home late in the evening. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121256). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
