Light over Hamlet, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Spotted 3 red, bright, blinking lights low in eastern sky. Two of the lights were flying in formation heading South. The third light seemed to be catching up with the other two. Sighting was very brief. Maybe 2 minutes as the lights passed behind the tall trees on the southern side of my yard. No discernible sound was heard.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129349). 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.
