Circle over Caryville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself and my 2 daughters had walked out to leave, i looked at the mountians behind our house and saw the edge of the mountian was lite up bright from a light. I quickly realized this was a beam of light coming down from a larger light. It was so bright you could see the trees that it was lighting up. The girls got scared so we leave and as we are getting on the intersrate which is between my house and the mountians i start to look for the light source and as the mountian comes in to view there is a round ship with white lights around it, it's just perfectly hovering there over this section of trees, we look as long as we can until its out of site...."my husband and i are going to try to get to the area and check it"

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.
