Unknown over Round O, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was leaving for work I got to my truck and noticed 3 yellowish white lights in the distance. I thought it was three planes flying around each other well within 3 minutes the lights moved all the way to me and went from white to red. They were moving in the same direction at the same speed. Now I knew they weren’t planes because I didn’t see any blinking lights, and there was no noise as they flew. Now three planes flying the same direction of each other you’re bound to hear some kinda noice from the engines.

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.
