Circle over Caryville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Had walked kids out to bus stop, as we looked toward to mountain top I noticed 3 lights that I haven't seen before. Within 45 seconds the shape the three crafts make changes from a line then into a triangle and then to a C shape, it would stay in one shape for a certain time before changing. They lined up once again and one by one disappeared. I did notice as this was lining up the last time there was an aircraft flying over and another that looked the same 30 seconds later.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143617). 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.
