Unknown over Franklinton, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first I thought it was thunder in the distance but as it came closer to the house i truly believed it was either a tornado or plane crashing into the house. It was a clear night and the moon was full so I knew it wasn't bad weather. I ran outside as it went over the house and into the field across the road. The shape was blacked out and all i could see were the different colored lights as it slowly moved further away. It stopped at one point, turned and flew slowly in a different direction. Scared me so bad, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! We seen red flaming orbs in the back field several years ago that were flying straight up, then went 3 different ways.

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.

Hovering approximately 90sec.at 100 to 150 foot over the Tchefuncte River on the Parish line a dark Triangle Shape Craft seem to be 100'x100'x100'foot with a white lights in each corner. Could not tell how thick or tall. Then it seem that a bright spot light appeared it came from under the craft. As It fell from under the craft I saw it was a orb of some kind. I was freaking me out at the time did not know if it was going to come towards me or if I should call the Police, Air Force, ? then I thought they were going to think I was crazy. The orb then went done the river south towards the lake made a lite humming and static sound . The big craft would keep going North up the river no sound that was spooky and it went out of site. I been afraid to say anything to anyone I know. Have not to this day said anything.
