Unknown over Myrtal Beach, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My Feince and I were sitting on our 8th floor balcony, when she observed an orange light over the Atlantic then it disappeared then reappeared. We only saw a single light on in the air, we could not see a vehicle at all just the lights. This continued to happen seeing one then two equally spaced apart then there were three and at one time we saw five lights then they were gone. The next night the same time this time when they showed up I shined a laser in the direction of the light I blinked it twice then the UFO repositioned itself to be right in front of us but still the same distance over the ocean about 1-2 miles out over the ocean and blinked twice back at us.

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.
