Circle over Johns Creek/Atlanta, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walked to my car after work around 10:30 PM, saw a reddish light hanging in the air. Looked almost like a flare, same color, but did not fall from the sky. Watched for a bit then drove off. Seemed to hang in the sky, moved subtly but not much. Went in many directions, but again, not by much.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126999). 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.
