Flash over Sylvester, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While traveling north on Highway 33, I noticed what seemed to be a falling star. Being that I've seen a ton of falling stars before, I expected this one to fade out. It didn't fade immediately. The altitude of this object was much lower than any falling star I've seen. Once I had my eyes locked on it, it sped across a field. It disappeared briefly, and out of nowhere, it was on the other side of the field. It then change direction in mid flight, and zoomed back in the opposite direction. I lose sight of it after that. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
