Unknown over Hickory Grove, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I stopped in the middle of the road and didn't see any red blinking lights on this object. It was very slow moving off towards the southern direction. I turned onto SawMill road and got close to my house and you could still see the bright white lights blinking off in the distance.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143377). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
