Light over Baxterville, MS

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I will keep this as short as possible, but I will include as much detail as I can. For 5 nights in a row, beginning around 2 A.M. cst. a bright light appears in my west directed bedroom window, on the second story of my house. The light, beginning as a sort of white light with orange undertones, pulsates. It gets brighter and then dims down. This goes on for about an hour. Around 3 o'clock A.M. cst. the light goes dim and then all of a sudden my entire room is lit up with a hot pink light that is so bright it burns my eyes. I tell my boyfriend and of course he thinks I am losing my mind. He fails to tell me that the first night the light appeared in my window, he and his buddy were in the shooting stand, coyote hunting, when they saw a bright light to the west, that rose up just over the tree tops moved further to the west a little bit and then lowered back down behind the trees I've tried to record it but the video always cuts off a minute or 2 into the recording and twice my laptop has completely factory reset itself, erasing everything on it. It is quite annoying. The nights I was awake for this event, as the pink light begins to fade, I get this feeling that not only is something or someone looking at me thru my window, but I also get this feeling of extreme exhaustion. And I end up passed out wherever I am sitting at that time. Last night, January 16th, at 2 A.M. cst. My boyfriend tells me that while I'm asleep in my bed and he is in the shooting house, he watches this light, just as before, rise up over the trees, move to the west, and lower back down behind the tree line. Just as I had seen the nights before. He also states that the object emits a dull roar, like an aircraft would make. It seems to be moving away from us, but it just happens to be right over a significant place in history that is off limits to the public. I know, I sound crazy, but I have 2 other people who will confirm my story and i hope someone else comes forward with their account of this event. I'm not sure what it is, but its not the first strange thing that has happened in the skies over our house. This is just the first time I have thought to report it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

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.
