Triangle over White Post, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 23:01 on Tuesday, April 16th, 2019, a brightly lit, green object was witnessed by this author moving rapidly from the eastern sky toward the south, dropping at approximately 45 degrees throughout the duration of said object's flight, as if it were landing. The object, which was triangular in shape, specifically scaline, with the longest edge facing the sky, was illuminated with a green light, and it appeared the whole craft was lit, rather than having any artificial lighting. Furthermore, there was a long, orange trail that dragged behind the object, which was noticeable also throughout the visual until the object disappeared behind the tree line.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145694). 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.
