A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When object was first seen, only two lights were visible (one red and one white). I then noticed how low to the ground this craft was then I noticed the craft had stop traveling and was at this point hovering before and then began to travel back slightly in the direction it had just come from. Next a spotlight became visible and scanned an area of ground very quickly. As soon as the spotlight disappeared three lights were visible in a triangle or v shape instead of only two and all three lights were now white. The craft hovered for a few moments then began to slowly descend as soon as the craft met the tree line from my few all lights disappeared and no craft was visible. I sat parked on the side of the road a moment or so but the craft did not return

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.
