Triangle over Rockville, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Okay, so I don't know how to explain this... I heard a lot of things about "summoning Ufos" and I thought it was really stupid. It was dark outside and all the stars were out so I went outside with my dog on the porch in my blanket. I look into the sky and I "pictured" where I was at and asked them to come. I know it sounds crazy and nobody believes me, but it started with small orbs, chasing around and going across the sky, almost like stars? But then seething weird happened. A HUGE blue light flashed really fast in the right side of the sky, right about he tree line (I live back in the country) and all of a sudden this thing just came above my house. It had lights and they were in a triangle shape and they were blinking in a certain rhythm. There were a lot of lights under it, I don't know how many. But it was right above my house and I was so surprised and scared and my dog started barking at it and I ran inside, I was so overwhelmed, was crying and I didn't know what to do. I don't know the exact date either. I just found this sight to report it to. Please help if you know what this was. I've never heard of a blue flash before it coming before. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

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.
