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.

The object was approximately 300 feet above the interstate and traveling south. I noticed 6 bright white lights under the object. It was shaped like a triangle, it made no sounds or gave off any exhaust. I was driving approximately 30-40 mph after seeing the object. A short time later, less than a minute, the object turned west, accelerated, climbed in altitude and disappeared. I told coworkers and family, no one believes me. There were other vehicles near me during this encounter. I was unable to video or take a picture due to driving alone at the time.

Lumberton, NC

I went outside to smoke and a flashing reddish, blue light that was moving across the sky against the trees caught my attention. The light began to hover for 2-3 min. Then began to fade. Within 30 sec. the light just completely disappeared. Within a 45 sec. to a min. The light would reappear in the same spot starting with a white light that would change to a reddish, blueish, green color. The light began to move from the north to the west very slow, then the process would start all over. When the light would move it would look as if it was three different color lights that were very close to each other but the distance would make it look as if it was one light. As time went on the light was moving away from me and east. At times the light would appear to suddenly drop down a short distance all of a sudden like it was going through terbulance while also moving east. After 2 hrs. the last time it disappeared it never came back. Three other adults other than myself witnessed the entire thing. I live 30 min. south of Ft. Bragg, N.C. And this was not any military aircraft. It was cloudy tonight and the light would reappear in front of the clouds at times so the object was flying below some of the clouds.
