Circle over Douglasville, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from church on 10-12-16 and I called my sister at 8:18 pm and as I was talking to her, I noticed an extremely bright light sitting low in the sky that wasn’t moving. It was so bright that I mentioned it to my sister. I live near an airport but this definitely wasn’t a plane because it was stationary and there were many planes flying to and from the airport above the object. This object was incredibly bright and low in the sky. There were no sounds coming from it. As I was approaching my house, I got off the phone with my sister and continued to look at the object to make sure it wasn’t something else. I a brightly lit aircraft with three bright lights approach the object from the right side then it flew away but the object remained stationary in the sky and another of the same type of aircraft approached it from a lower angle and then it flew away but again the object remained stationary. I attempted to film the object as I was driving but! I didn’t push record and I needed to turn around and go back to higher ground due to the fact that I lost sight of the object due to tree cover. I found a place to safely pull my car over and film the object properly and I got about 57 seconds of it before it dimmed slightly and flew slowly away to my right. The time stamp on the video is 8:35 pm.

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.

Watched for a couple minutes. It flickered red and white and at one point disappears and comes back. There are no clouds in the sky.

We then drove in another direction to try to see if we could get closer. And finally went home and the light was completely gone from view - when it literally lit up our whole room in the beginning. Super weird. I didn’t think to take pictures, hadn’t crossed my mind. I actually looked up a couple of sites just to see if anyone else saw it.

I saw a light. Too big and bright for a star. Too low to be a star. A plane went by lower so I could see it was hovering but moving slightly. I watched for 20min and could make out distinct lights on the arms like a drone. Only it was too large to be a drone. It was big like the plane.I took video it just looks like a bright light.

Object moving slow above the trees. Could not make out shape but it was moving slow and the light was bright and seems to be moving in a way you would if you scanned something. The light brightened the room. You could hear a humming sound. Kept flying slow and you could hear the humming go over the house.

It started moving when a smaller one hovered above it and eventually lined up perpendicular to the earth right above it in a straight line. It was fascinating. The other small one flew overhead and we could see the lights in a triangle when it got closer. It was moving WAY to fast to be a plane of any kind and way to far away to be a drone.
