Unknown over Waynesville, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took my dog out at 9:50. Saw a flashing light coming from the east. It would flash on and off about one second intervals. When the flashing occurred it would leave a trail or more like a tail. I first thought it was a meteor but it was a lot bigger and the flashes were consistent. As it got overhead to my position it changed directions to the left away from me in a sharp rounding type direction and was gone. There was no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146077). 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.

I captured photos. There was an airplane of some sort flying close to it. Best way I can describe it was a perfect straight line of lights. Had to be miles long. It never changed directions. My Son & Daughter both saw it as we all 3 was sitting around a camp fire in the back yard. We watched it for nearly three minutes then it disappeared instantly.

Zoom in on 10-11 o'clock in second photo to begin. Would like to know what the mass I couldn't see with my naked eye might be? I may have it blown up as an art piece. The colors are beautiful in a spooky way.
