Light over Rosman, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I got a set of binoculars and went back out. It was an orange sphere that kept going back and forth, almost like it was scanning the land below it. You could see it pause briefly, then start the other direction again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126375). 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.

11:30pm...Started seeing a very bright light at the top of the mountain across from our Mountain top view. Distance was around 3,500 feet. Watched the intense white light move around the area where it was hanging out. Watched it for an hour or so. Thought it may have been really bright lights on a 4x4 at the top of the mountain. Then I saw it moving up in the air and this is when I got very curious. I went and setup my 50x spotting scope on a tripod and zoomed in on the light. This is when I started saying out loud “what the f$@! Is that!!!” With my eye it just looked like 1 bright light. Through the spotting scope it was 2 concentric rings. Both rings had a number of round lights/spheres. 6 to 8 equally spaced lights on the outer ring. 4 to 6 equally spaced lights on the inner ring. All the lights appeared to be the same size. It appeared to be hovering just over the treetops moving around in the same general area. At times it would quickly squiggle up mayb! e 100 feet or more then squiggle down to where it was. After a couple of hours of hovering and moving around a bit, it seemed to have landed as it was now stationary and the light was filtered through the trees. Although there still seemed to be a little movement. My two buddies were all witness to this. We were all very perplexed as to what we were seeing. Watched this for a total of 6 hours. Finally fell asleep from exhaustion. Tried getting photos through the scope with our phones..did not work.

Saw 1 bright amber light east of us heading north/north east. It got bright then slowly dimmed out as it started crossing out of view range. Did not blink or anything just steady light except for slowly dimming as it went. about 30 sec. after first light passed a second one exactly the same on same path went by until it also dimmed out as it neared the horizon out of viewing range. Looked to be very high up and to the east of us. Closest similarity in my experience is too seeing missiles flying over around the time they reach a certain altitude and level off etc.
