Light over Hartford, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking past the kitchen window at about 10:00pm and I saw a bright light in the sky. I thought it was a star at first, then I noticed that it was changing colors. Red, blue, green and back again. And it was moving. Not fast enough to be a plain. It was moving side to side and in tini circles. I called in my brother and he saw the same thing. Then I called in my mom and she agreed that it could not be a star or a plane. I tried to take a picture but the light was too small to see. As I watched it, it slowly started moving down to the tree line until I couldn't see it past the trees. About 10-15 minutes later. I googled it to see if anyone else saw it and I found this website and I saw that someone else saw something just like it a month before in Knoxville, TN.

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.
