Light over Clemson, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving down Hwy 123, coming into Clemson. I was looking at the sky admiring the night clouds when I saw a bright orange light come from nowhere and start flying across the sky. It was going extremely fast, and it flew parallel to the horizon. After about 5 seconds, it sped up even more and disappeared into the open sky, almost comparable warp drive from star trek.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137146). 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.

My boyfriend and I were driving down a two-lane road around 8pm. We were right next to a lake, when we saw three lights (two amber colored and one green) in a perfect triangular shape. The lights were not blinking. It was very dark outside, so I could only see the lights, not the actual object. It was hovering maybe 200 ft in the sky for a couple seconds, before quickly turning and speeding off, eventually dipping below the tree line and disappearing from view. The object never made any noise. It was completely silent, and the object was too large and too quiet to possibly be a drone.
