Triangle over Strasburg, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Arrived at my house around 9 pm just east of Strasburg, VA, when I noticed a series of lights coming over Signal Knob mountain. The lights formed a triangle or "V" shape. At first there were only 3 but then 2 additional lights turned toward the front of the object. We watched the lights for several minutes, they were white, in a straight line, and moved silently and slowly. The object was large, probably 1000 feet in length and was entering the Dulles flight path. It soon turned and headed south and eventually faded out of sight. A few minutes later, we saw 5 aircraft coming from Washington, DC, area at a high rate of speed directly toward where the object was heading.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141646). 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.
