Light over Palmyra, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took my dog out to do his business and I noticed a bright rectangular object in the south west sky. It was travelling away from us at a distance in an irregular pattern. Over a few minutes it became a bright white light before lighting the horizon. It was perfectly quiet, seemed large and a long ways away.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153608). 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.
