Diamond over Sullivan's Island, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband, a friend, and I were sitting on the beach, facing towards downtown Charleston. I saw a very bright shape in the sky, a tall diamond. I said, "Do you all see that, oh it's already fading, nevermind." Right then, my husband snapped a picture, in the picture the object looks like a faded round blue orb.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136767). 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.
