Flash over Jeromesville, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One larger red flashing light hovering above a field, moving slowly west as several smaller white flashing orbs darted above and below the area over the field. Initially saw ring of lights around larger reddish light, got 4K camera, told driver to stop, but stopping was precarious. Was filming at this point. Got out of vehicle and filmed lights over field, and larger light moving slowly and passing by a utility tower further to the SW of the field, where the white flashes continued darting around. All were moving in an altitude from near the ground to 100-150 meters at maximum. Average height was just above the tallest tree heights. This video caught the white lights with a barn pole light as point of reference. It also caught the larger one as it moved from the right to left side of a lit up tower, that serves as a reference point. Stopped filming for safety as trucks were blasting past us.

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.
