Other over Charlotte (outside of; I-485), NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My mom and I witnessed several motionless jets in the sky over 485 outside Charlotte, NC, on our drive from 85 north to 77 north. The jets appeared to be Boeing 737s and they were only a few hundred feet above the highway. The weather on Sunday, February 28, 2016, was sunny and completely clear with only light winds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126105). 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.
