Light over Old Hickory, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While observing Perseids meteor shower, spotted a white light in the northeastern sky. The light was stationary and pulsed slowly, like a lighthouse or beacon. Occasionally, the light would flash quickly and very brightly. It appeared to be high in the sky, and we could not see the object itself. There was no sound. After about 10 minutes, it moved off slowly to the east, then abruptly vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135689). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

As I was driving home, I noticed a much bigger flying object than I’ve ever noticed (which is why it caught my eye). It looked like a triangle... Two green lights and one white. It wasn’t going fast really.... seemed to be going back and forth. Very eerie. Got home and saw it again as soon as I was walking to the door.
