Circle over Perkinston, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We came up on a hill and this huge bright as the sun orange with a haze around it was setting over trees. It was as if someone was burning the trees tops. My daughter said mom I don't mean to scare you but are you seeing this, unfortunately, I was. I was at first just hoping it was the moon but the moon was grey tonight. And this huge orange haze of a ball the size of a trailer just disappeared. I call sister in a panic. I'm unsure what this was all I know is we drove home so terrified we are still up and it's daylight now.

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.
