Triangle over Chattanooga, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My home is on a ridge overlooking the river and entire city of Chattanooga. From the second story, my children and I look at the city lights out the window as they are put to bed. Today I saw a light I have never noticed before and it did not seem to move. I watched from one room and never saw the object move. I thought I was losing it, so I went to the opposite side of the house and looked and it was still there. At this time I noticed a secondary object appear. They were both white at that time. I looked for my husband, couldn't find him, went downstairs and out the front door. The two objects were still there, only this time moving slowly toward my house and higher as they went. They moved in unison and the color started changing from one to many colors-- the entire outer rim of the objects were changing colors. I kept rubbing my eyes thinking my contacts were drying out, but the lights were glowing and changing, and at this point I could see the lights were in triangle shapes around the object. I couldn't make out the edges of the objects, only the lights. Then, after they passed my house I lost sight of them because my house blocked my direct line of sight. When I rediscovered them after running around the house they were much further to the left and had made a major change of direction. Then there was only one; the second disappeared. About 15 years ago, I saw a red orb in the middle of the day hovering in Athens, TN, over the interstate.

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.

I was leaving JJ's Bohemia (at 10:20pm) after a live music show. I was parked on the street in front of the music venue and as I pulled out of my parking space and was sitting at the red light on MLK Blvd & Houston sts I noticed a triangle shaped object glowing green around the edges. it moved slowly behind the building at the corner of MLK Blvd & Houston st and I lost visibility of the object. I tried to view the object but it was out of my view and was not seen again. There was no noise out of the ordinary and the person with me was not able to see the object. The size could not be exactly determined but my estimation is 60'x60'x60'. There were light on the bottom of the metallic object that were glowing green and outlined the object from the underside with a green/white haze around the craft. I did not see any propulsion gasses emanating from the craft. The craft was only visible for approximately 15seconds as it disappeared behind a building structure.

I was taking a photo with some friends on the balcony of the Hunter Art Museum in Chattanooga, TN and I looked up to see a small, glowing orb. It was floating just above us. Maybe 20 ft away. Or so it seemed. I began to call the attention of my friends to it and it went out. I looked around for what I had thought was a drone, but there was nothing. I didn’t even hear what would have been a drone. I thought I was just seeing things, but I’m 100% positive it was a silent, softball size, glowing orb.

I saw 3 bright orange orbs travelling south. They made no noise, it was near the Chattanooga airport. I see planes and helicopters all the time. I can hear those as well. These made no sound and we're bright orange, the color never changed as they passed. I live on a ridge overlooking the airport. They were not a plane or drone or helicopter. I tried to video and didn't get my my phone video to work, I was too excited and I'm now pissed I didn't get proof.
