Circle over Bullock, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing with my father on the bank of Grassy Creek (Kerr Lake on NC & VA border) in Bullock, NC, when we saw a large, fast moving, bright white light approaching from the East, heading South West at about 50 degrees in the sky. I made the comment to my father that it was really moving fast, but there was no sound coming from it. As we were watching the object, it suddenly separated into three individual white lights, and within a second of separation, all of the lights totally disappeared. Vanished!!! We stood there in awe and asked each other…"Did you see that? What was that?” Holy ((1 word deleted))! – I have never seen anything like that in the 50 years that I've been alive.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137445). 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.
