Disk over Earlington, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Seen a larger craft and 4 smaller ones up in the sky. I can see them from Earlington, but look to be over Nortonville area. I looked with binoculars and could see the lights flashing fast. Different colors like a purple, green, red hard to tell almost like rainbow colors. The bigger one stayed stationary and the smaller ones were moving up and down slowly and over each other. An airplane went past where they were. I am wondering if they reported it. They were there a good 15 minutes, just sitting there, hovering in sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137430). 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.
