Formation over Edisto Beach, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A formation of 10-20 dim lights in a half circle formation appeared over the coast and then shot down the coastline. At first it was thought to be shooting stars, but they were just a tad slower, much faster than an airplane could possibly go. They had appeared out of nowhere and disappeared after 5-10 seconds. It was a clear sky at the time of the sighting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139059). 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.
