Other over Concord, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband spotted this object, which he described as a "tiny stop light," while we were driving northeast along East Poplar Tent Rd, just after the I-85 interchange. I assumed it might be a drone. I caught a few glimpses in my driver side mirror and pulled into James Dorton Park to get a better view while my husband and kid went to the park. I filmed for 6 minutes and observed the object slowly flying northeast but in a straight line concurrent with Poplar Tent Rd. The object was slower than both birds and airplanes, and seemed to rotate and reflect sunlight, as if faceted. It can barely be seen in my video and gets fainter as the capture continues. After turning off my phone camera, I lost sight of the object. See video from 04OC18. 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.

I was on the front porch (porch light on and light near walkway) the background was dark - took our dog out for the last time before bed. I stood on porch and the fireball with a blazing tail was 30’ in the yard in front of me. It lasted a brief moment, then another exact thing came behind it. They were going in the direction of my dog. The fireballs with a blazing tail were approx 30” off the ground. I called my dog to go inside for the night as I wasn’t about to go in the yard to examine what I just saw. My dog was skittish many days after this event. So weird! I know what I saw and it was real!

During a drive I noticed an Oblique Oval in the sky. It was brighter than anything I've seen and just continued to hover in one place for a matter of a couple of minutes. (Not sure how long it was there before I noticed it) It did not move an inch, it seemed inhuman. When the craft began to move it disappeared within a matter of seconds. I watched it turn from a bright, non-moving object. To a distant fading light within a good 5 to 10 seconds of movement.

I grabbed my boyfriend and his mom and we watched it do a bit. It may still be happening. No sounds, just random flashing with the middle area most active. Have never seen this before. They're getting brave. Armor up guys.

As I look in the southern sky under the Orion constellation I a bright orange spherical shape with constentric circles. The light from it shined one me like a car headlight in the dark. I turned my head to look at Polaris and when I looked bk it was gone.

Saw 3 large sphere shaped objects traveling towards 1 stationary object. They flew in the same trajectory about 45 to 60 seconds apart. It was cloudy and they were just under the cloud base. Were traveling at a slow rate of speed. There was an orange hue like a distant campfire. There was no color change just dimming and brightening. As each one passed they followed the same direction and made a slight angular turn of about 20 degrees to the south of my location. Each one was slightly closer as they passed over and I could see details of the third one. It appeared as if there was an orangeish haze coming off it but not enough to leave a trail. There was a smaller sphere inside of the large outer one and was positioned at about 7:00 area in the direction it was traveling. The smaller one illuminated the outer one. There was no structure to it, it looked like a giant bubble. There was absolutely no sound. The only odd effect was static electricity feeling in the air. The objects grouped to gather in a diamond shape and ascended into the clouds and that was the end of the sighting. I have an hd video that is about 6 minutes. As the last one went overhead my phone shutdown... I do however have the majority of it recorded with some detail of the closest one.
