Other over Thibodaux, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The objects could be described as orange splinters that glowed and faded in and out of sight over the course of an hour. At their brightest they appeared to be flickering as if on fire. I know these not to be regular aircrafts as I work in aviation and are familiar with the nature of modern aircraft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138577). 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.

10 craft with red light on the front moving slow at a low altitude flying west then turning north. Once they turned you could not see the red light on the front. There were 10 of these crafts. They were all at different altitudes but obviously traveling together. I could not hear any sound. They got within one mile from me before turning. This was a dark night only a sliver of a moon. Never seen anything like that before.

Bright orange light slowly fades then turns into 3 red lights forming corners of a triangle flying fast overhead from south to north.
