Triangle over Bryson, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While we were on a family vacation I went outside for a little bit to get some fresh air while the family was watching an intense basketball game on TV. While I was standing outside on the deck, all of a sudden I felt this huge gust of wind. I looked up and at first saw nothing. But seconds later a giant black and triangular shaped aircraft came flying past me. It made absolutely no sound. It was triangular, black, made no sound, and had a red light towards the tip of the triangle and it was flying sideways from what I could see. The only reason I knew it was coming and noticed it was because I could feel the air swooshing and heard the trees swooshing. Whatever it was was definitely powerful and flying on something that wasn’t fuel. I don’t believe it was an alien aircraft, I believe it was some type of undercover military aircraft. It came and went within 20-50 seconds. It was so quick I didn’t even believe I saw it at first but I definitely did and thin! k about it all the time. Definitely a crazy experience that is so hard to explain to people.

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.
