Triangle over Oxford, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My aunt, uncle, and his girlfriend were heading towards Oxford, Alabama, coming from Ga. tonight to get lottery tickets. They were traveling along HW 21, when my aunt who is deaf started hollering and motioning for them to look. She claims she saw the triangular shaped object coming slowly towards them and it had 3 lights, one red, one white, and one blue. All 3 witnesses described it as looking the same except one claims they only saw a red light and a white light. My aunt quickly turned her vehicle around to get another look and it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125124). 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.

Husband and I saw a craft of unknown shape in the Northwest area of the sky. I filmed the object for over a minute, and it seemed to dim and get smaller as the time passed.

At 10:03 PM on Thursday July 7th, 2016, our dog started to bark and growl at the window with what we thought was a bird. Curious, we went outside so as to see what started as three glowing orange dots in the sky and grew into one larger formation. They lingered around the sky moving slightly up and down before breaking into two, then splitting and fading away. During the sighting we grabbed a recorder and got a shot of it but the batteries died afterward, which was strange as how it was at half battery, and the image looked warped. We, my grandmother and I, looked at it through binoculars. There appeared to be a blinking in the bottom of the crescent shape with a lingering, short trail that looked to be a smoldering orange.
