Triangle over Louisville, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went outside to walk my dogs, and noticed a very bright star. I live ten miles from town, so I never have street lights preventing me from seeing stars. The brightly lit star suddenly turned orange and then red. I quickly yelled for my mother to come out. As we are watching, it changed back to white, but dimmer. Then a beam of white light appeared diagonally. At that point, we were looking at a single bright light, and a beam coming down and angled to the right. Next, a second beam came down diagonally to the left. So, it is a bright light with two beams coming down to form a triangle. A bottom beam never appeared. You could compare it to an upside down letter "V" with the bright light at the point. We watched as it reduced back to a single light and faded out of sight.

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.
