Formation over Pearisburg, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I've never seen anything like it, one object like a moving star came directly down and stopped. Then the star released more, until there was like 10 spinning around in a circle, faster and faster. Then I woke up. Not like a dream well it was like a dream, but I woke up from reality. I guess, there was no evidence nor sightings after that. If you don't believe me, i understand. We suspect this is a hoaxed report, but we cannot be certain. 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.
