Diamond over Nashville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Saturday night, October 22, 2016, @ 8:40PMCT, I was viewing the sky from the middle Tennessee area, looking in the far North West of a clear sky, and I saw a star like object appear, and then disappear, about 5 times within about a 4-5 minute time bracket. Then looking slightly to the left a little more to the west, I saw another star like object do the very same thing twice. Both sightings appeared to be stationary, not moving in any direction, simply appearing and disappearing. Both looked just like a star. I am wondering if these sightings could have been a caused by the reflective surfaces on geostationary or communications satellites? One of two sighting reports submitted by the same source. The witness's other sighting also occurred in Nashville, TN, and is posted to our database of sighting reports for September 21, 2016, at 1940 hrs.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a quite credible witness. PD

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.

I was looking at clouds when I noticed a stationary object in the Western sky. It was dull metallic in color and made no sound. It was disk shaped with the exception of a half sphere attached to the bottom of the object. I'm guessing that it was 500 to 800ft in altitude. I took a picture using my cellphone camera. After I took the picture I checked it and when I looked at the sky again the object was gone. The entire sighting lasted about 25 seconds.

i observed what i thought was an asteroid or meteor falling to earth in donelson, tn near the bna airport. the closer it came to impact i braced for an expected load sonic boom seeing as in relation to the two aircraft that were landing at bna airport at the time dwarfed in comparision of this thing. then it pause and three triangle shaped bright lights two green and one white came on and it changed its direction at a 90 degree andgle and had a green smoke trail and dissapeared shortly out of the atmosphere, truley unlike any thing that ive ever witnessed in my entire life.

On Sunday, April 16, 2023, around 12 p.m., I was outside my house in Old Hickory TN when I noticed a bright stationary light in the sky. It was very high and did not move. It was not a plane, a star, or a satellite. It was reflecting light or beaming light at odd intervals. Its shape seemed to be oval or like a figure eight. My wife also saw it with me. I tried to take a picture of it with my phone, but I couldn't zoom in far enough to get a clear image. It stayed in the sky for about 15 minutes and then disappeared.
