Other over Monetta, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were watching a movie at the drive in, when I got bored and started star gazing. I noticed an object moving across the sky. It was like the color of a yellow orange.. It didn't change colors but seemed to move across the sky in one direction but like a butterfly bouncing up and down slightly. Or like a firefly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130373). 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.
