Changing over Rover, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Leaving the house after dark, we noticed a bright white light rising behind the house. As it rose we saw a v-shape under it. Red lights spread out into what looked like a long (cigar?) shape and moved low and silently. We followed for about 4 miles. It seemed go slightly faster and then went beyond the hills and we never caught up with it. It looked huge and never made a sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125550). 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.
