Triangle over Newton, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
So we walked around the yard for a couple minutes. I lit up a cigarette and looked up towards the sky. That's when I seen a triangular shaped craft of some type just appeared slowly flying over us. I was confused at what I seen because it was like it was there and not at the same time. I asked my friend if she was seeing this ((word deleted))? She said she seen it too. It sort of picked up speed as it took off and disappeared at the same time. This thing was massive whatever it was. Super quiet like a hybrid car motor or something. Unlike anything I've ever seen before. If it were day time this thing could have easily blocked out the sun, I'm sure of it. It had 7 lights on it that didn't flash. The lights seemed to be white but like sort of a dim white light. 3 lights on each side and one in the very tip of the triangle. It felt like a long time had passed during all this, but it was only maybe 5-10 seconds from the time it showed, till it was gone. It travelled away from me on a 90 degree angle, traveling southeast towards Marianna, Florida.

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.
