A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While on an evening walk, I observed, what I initially thought; was an aircraft approaching from the west, with its landing-lights on. It appeared to be gradually descending, at an altitude of approx. 5,000-7,000 ft, AGL. I found this odd, since there are no airports, in this immediate area. As it came closer, I noticed that had approx. 4-5 non-strobing white-lights, placed at roughly equal distances, along the leading-edge of each wing. It had no stobing lights, or red and green wing-tip lights, as typical aircraft do. Then, it gradually turned north, allowing me to get a side-view of the craft, against a clear, sun-setting sky, at dusk. I saw no tail, or fuselage. It appeared to be a "flying-swept-wing",approx. the wingspan of a Boeing 737, with a boomerang-shape, moving at approx. the same speed, as civilian prop-driven aircraft, that is typically seen, at that altitude. As it moved away from me, to the north, I noticed a circular- cluster of s! tationary white lights, in the middle of the rear of the object. I could hear no engine noise, as it departed my sight, over a mountain. Also, I am a subscriber to an online flight-tracking service. I immediately checked that website, on my phone, and it showed NO air-traffic, anywhere near that area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
