Unspecified over Daphne, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We don't know what it was. Last night, between 10:30 to 11:00pm, we heard a rumbling noise. Because we have had many thunder storms, we thought that it was thunder. After a couple of minutes, when the noise did not stop, I thought maybe there was a tornado near. It seemed to be coming closer, so I checked the local stations to see if there were tornado warnings. Nothing reported, but the noise seemed to be passing overhead. My wife came out of the bedroom and said, "Do you hear that noise?" We went out on the front porch and could still hear it. I went to the end of the street to see if I could see the cause of the noise. I couldn't see anything be could still hear it in the distance. It wasn't a plane or helicopter because it moved so slowly and lasted too long. I have never heard anything like this before. Have their been any other reports of this strange noise?

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.

Around 1pm I saw a very reflective object move across the sky. I thought it was an airplane but as I continued to observe the object it became very clear it was not an airplane or metallic balloon. It either kept reflecting the sun or it was pulsating a white light . I watched it for about 5 mins and it went behind a cloud and vanished.

Red/orange lights. First seen as a single long light. They moved in the blink of an eye with no sound, about five miles from where it was first spotted,and then they disappeared. Seconds later each individual light came on in sequence in a straight line and then off in sequence. The on and off sequence continued three times then disappeared all together.
