Formation over North Chesterfield, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving in Bon Air, noticed a tight vertical formation of white lights hovering in the sky. There for several seconds, then lost sight. Very tight formation of a cluster of lights in a vertical format. Best way to describe it is to give an analogy of someone putting clear/white Christmas lights in a 2 liter bottle of soda, then floating the object at several hundred feet. Object photographed. Very odd. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131756). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

There were two lights moving at the same speed very fast and it is as if there was almost something in the middle that would have connected them but there was nothing at all. The way they moved in formation made it appear as if it was a big ship just maybe cloaked except the lights. There was also no sound.

I was taking back to back photos of the clouds using my son’s iPhone. The evening light was very pretty and I wanted to get the perfect shot so I took several photos. When I went back over them I saw one picture with two objects that looked as though they were entering the atmosphere side by side. They looked similar to comets with tails and you can see where the front of them almost looks like a fireball, but they are a bright greenish color.

While standing on my porch, a helicopter flew over my house and I didn’t pay attention to it until it came to a stop. It was hovering in one spot for a about 10 seconds when I started to focus on it. I noticed a bright white light above the helicopter which I thought was a star at first glance, but it suddenly got brighter and grew a little in size while at the same time it started to slowly move. After watching it slowly move and go from dim to bright for about 20 more seconds, it suddenly just dimmed out and disappeared. It looked to be at the same height that a passenger plane would fly at. The sky was blue as can be without a cloud in it. My question is if the helicopter saw it because, the only reason I noticed the star looking craft was because the helicopter came to a stop, which I have never seen a helicopter do while flying over in my area.

I observed an object in the sky, WNW (from my front step assuming it faced true due north). The range is very difficult to determine. Maybe 50 miles, give or take 20 miles. Approximately 35° above the horizon. The object appeared to move down toward the tree line very slowly with either 3 or 4 lights for about 2-3 seconds. Then turned left (South) at 4 times the speed for about 3-4 seconds. At that point I got to my feet and walked towards the object only to have the neighbor's side light cause the object's lights shine without the same intensity. Then the object turned back to the original direction at half the speed (1-2 seconds) until I lost it behind the tree line. 2 things that sparked my curiosity where how quickly the object changed direction and absolutely no sound whatsoever

I went out to take the trash out and I used to be a Boy Scout, so each night I look up in the sky each night. I was outside my grandparents house I was looking northeast the object was hovering over my house about 20 feet to 25 feet away and there were 50 lights under the belly of the boomerang shaped craft and for about 3 minutes and (I have no witnesses) it was very bright and then all the Sun is Charlotte and sky went back for the side and I'm sure way like a bullet was gone.
