Unknown over Norton, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three strong, pulsing lights hovering in sky North of Orton, in the direction of the operational coal tipple one red light in center, in between two white lights. Craft was completely stationary. I stood, watching for 45 - 60 seconds. I stepped inside for 10 seconds to grab cell phone to record, but craft had vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132535). 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.
