Triangle over Pearisburg, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting for my husband to come home and looked out the window. While looking down the road, I happened to look up to see how the sky looked. It was a beautiful clear night and I was thinking how awesome it looked with the billions of stars out. Then I saw a moving light that at first I thought may be an airplane. Then I noticed it had green lights and I never remember seeing a airplane with those colors. I wasn't thinking too much until it stopped in mid flight and then glided a bit to the right, hovered, then moved to the left. That is when I ran out to the front of our house onto the porch. This flying thing was the shape of a triangle with green lights outlining the outer parts. It traveled over near our home and it was quite a ways up. It once again did that gliding to the right. I mean literally went to the right without turning at all. Then it was a whoooosh and gone in a millisecond. I didn't hear anything, but then again, it was up pretty high! . Note to self. Get video camera that is good for night time taping..

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.
