Disk over Fuquay Varina, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family and I saw what looked like a long streak of fire in the sky. It remained for a few minutes without changing, but appeared to be moving downward very slowly. Two of us went outside for a better look. The streak was silent. All of a sudden, it shortened, then it stretched really long and curved. It suddenly disappeared, and we saw a black disc shaped object where the streak appeared to end. It had a blinking red light, and it flew quickly up and out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127777). 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.

Rainy night. Saw a burnt orange light flickering through the tree in our back yard. Went outside and this light appeared to be moving very slowly above the city. Burnt orange almost red. It stopped then climbing upward disappeared into clouds. Did this three times.

While taking the family dog outside, it was identified that an unknown glowing orange object around 1000 feet up was flying just above our house with no sound whatsoever. The object remained at the same altitude and speed until no longer in sight. The orange glow was not indicative of a commercial craft plus it had no propulsion noise. We started recording the event on an iPhone and it was recording but when we went to replay the video only the first seconds actually were captured.

Sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette, I noticed 3 lights hovering over the tree line, I then pointed it out to my gf, and we began trying to figure out what it could be. during this process the object stayed hovering for about the time it time it took to finish my cigarette, at this time we started walking in that direction. it seemed almost as soon as we began to walk towards it the object began moving and the light formation had changed it began with one yellow light in front one in the back and a red/orange one in the middle. This time it was yellow yellow red. As we reached a clearing a little down the road we were able to see the object pretty clearly as it slowly went downward. This aircraft was easily 3 times the size of a grounded airplane had only 3 lights and made absolutely no sound at all. it went behind a small group of tree but then never came out the other side. As we were walking back to the house we noticed multiple airplanes and one helicopter almost surveying the exact area we just witnessed this enormous aircraft. :note: I have always been a skeptic about UFOs but tonight just changed that. This thing was like a ocean liner in the sky and just above tree level there is no other explanation for that. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Last night as I was stopped at a stop sign, I saw the lights hovering low to the ground about 100 yds away across the field. It rose up and as I turned right it followed me from across the field for about two miles. I tried to film it but the video didn't save. I lost track of it when it went over the top of my car as I was stopped at another stop sign. Then I lost it. There were other aircraft in the area but not that close. Maybe it was a drone, but it freaked me out. It had two large white lights on each side and a light bar in the middle. It was moving about 45 miles and followed me just above the trees but still across the road and about 100 yds away. It was more rectangle shape than anything with bright lights. I felt like I was being observed since it seemed to follow my every move.

We turned away from our home to follow the lights. We came upon a family, Dad and 2 or more kids walking back from the pool. We stopped and asked, "Did you just see that?" He said, "Yes, that why we left the pool." We couldn't see the lights because of the trees for about 1 minute, and the next time we saw the things, the lights were no longer white, they were red and blue. We drove another 5 yards to get to the open area of the subdivision and it was gone, and we had a 90 degree sight line. The 2 V's very close together and you could see sky in between and flying low and no noise. I didn't call this in until I heard a similar sighting tonight on Coast to Coast.
