Cigar over Little River, SC

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My mother and I were leaving our house in Little River, SC, upon leaving the neighborhood I saw 2 whitish-silver cigar shaped crafts, one appeared to be smaller than the other. the larger one appeared to not be moving and the smaller of the two did move, it seemed to be slow moving. They were spotted in the South West sky. (not over the ocean like the infamous "Orange lights" I have previously seen.) When I saw these things I knew right away this was not a plane, not a helicopter or blimp. I have lived near a military base most of my life and this was unlike anything I have seen. I will say these things were near impossible to see without my polarized sunglasses because of the sheen. At first my mother did not see them until I handed her my sunglasses. We lost sight of them as we traveled south east, we ended up in North Myrtle Beach to run errands and I spotted them again. NMB is approx 10 miles from my house and the first place I spotted the crafts. When I spotted them this time they appeared to be slow moving in two different directions. The third time I saw them today I was down in Myrtle Beach approx 29 miles from my front door. I called my father in little river, told him the direction (SW) to look and he was able to see the larger of the crafts from where he was. This tells me whatever this was, was high enough in the sky and big enough to be seen from where I was in Myrtle, to where my father was in Little River. If this were a craft, military or otherwise 1.) you could see it clearly without polarized glasses. 2.) it would not have appeared in the exact same place in the sky over the course of three+ hours. 3.) It would not have been in the same position (height) in the sky and visible for over thirty miles. 4.) the height of this air craft compared to airplanes visible in the sky would have left vapor trails upon movement, these did not.

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.

I live on ICW. Asleep 3 hours. Suddenly awakened by a fast approaching, high accelerating, loud, roaring noise. Vibration felt inside house. Like hovering over house. Lasted approx. 5 minutes. Intense and booming. Ended abruptly after 5 min. Didn't fade out like vehicle or boat passing by. My two dogs heard it also; they ran into my room whimpering and hid. After 5 minutes, total and complete silence. No fade out. No other occurrences after. Outside - No traffic seen or heard. Waterway clear. Sky clear of objects or lights. Regular traffic/neighborhood sounds resumed within about 20 min. NOT like military fly overs, which are common to Myrtle Beach area every week.

I was at a driving range with a friend of mine, I looked up and I noticed a orange light, not moving. I showed my friend and we watched it for about 30-45 seconds and then it just disappeared. After that, I kept looking in the sky around and didn't see any other lights.

Oct. 22, 2014 Report sighting @ Coquina Marina - 4208 Coquina Harbour, Little River, SC 29566. Approx. time 20:45 EST. Description of sighting: Looked up in the sky after dinner near the outside bar of Clark's resraurant and noticed one large bright orange orb hovering way over the horizon in the sky outside of marina possibly located near the channel or possibly further out above ocean. One orb became two orbs equidistant from the other, then three, then four. Then four reverted to three then two then one and disappeared. When asking my Fiance whether she saw the orbs she replied "no" like I was crazy they appeared again and she witnessed the orbs and how they multiplied to four and then disappeared. From more research this looks as if it was a common experience in this area. Also when locals were questioned some were aware of these glowing orange orbs. One of the inhabitants of an ocean front Condo in Cherry Grove called Springs Towers had witnessed this occurance on many occasions. Also mentioned under further inquisition were talks of mysterious sonic booms which they called Seneca Booms.
