Circle over Bellevue, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 4:00am this morning, I took my dog outside to go to the bathroom and I saw a bright light in the sky that was darting across the sky when all of a sudden it took a 90 degree turn. I totally freaked when all of a sudden I saw another and another. A total of four. Last night the entire sky kept lighting up and the news called for hail and thunderstorms which never happened. Something crazy is definitely happening.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127399). 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.
