Formation over Hiltons, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took my dogs outside for their last bathroom break. Two red slow strobing lights either in formation or one large craft with two lights. Stars disappeared behind as it went past. Very slow moving, and I could hear the airplane which was in the sky coming from the south west. The object(s) was/were moving in a steady progression west. All the crickets and tree frogs seemed to stop chirping as this object moved in the sky over our home.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128969). 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.
