Light over Covington, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I tried to let my dog outside before going to bed, and noticed she wouldn't leave the deck. So, I looked out and at the wood line in my backyard was an extremely bright baseball sized ball of light then as it flew away I started to notice more they have been flashing near the trees for about 20 minutes so bright they're hard to look at (so no its not a bug) they move at very fast speeds. They have been at different heights in the air. I saw some at ground level and all the way up to above the trees. I have never seen anything quite like this and I'm shaken up about it. It has left a very uneasy feeling in my stomach.

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.
