Light over Trotwood/Englewood, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Several (Approx. 6) flying, flashing red lights in the sky. It was dark out and the sky was clear. I was in my front yard taking my dog out to pee. When I looked up, I saw them were swerving around in different directions, which struck me as odd. After about 2 minutes, I was called back into my house, they might have been visible longer. I got a video of it and immediately posted it to Instagram, however Androids take low quality videos so it's just darkness with my streetlight to the side and me saying I thought what was in the sky might be a UFO.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123872). 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.
