Circle over Eads, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I drove home from a group study on this evening...in the southern sky were a group of lights. As I drove west on Highway 64 through Oakland, this round sphere of multi colored lights just hovered in the southern sky. White, red, & blue lights were in a circular form in a layered formation. White lights were interspersed with the colored lights. White lights on top & bottom of the sphere. It did not ever move as I traveled for about 6 miles due west. Then I turned south toward my home & I could still see it. Not having moved at all. I arrived home in a couple of miles. It was still totally still in the night sky. Lights were present in the same form I had initially observed. Very interesting.

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.
