Triangle over Tybee Island, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We watched it from a dock on Tybee, there were several people out fishing off the dock but we were the only ones who saw it. The front of the craft was a triangle shape that formed into more of a rectangle, like a house shape turned on its side. It came and went very fast, but left us all mesmerized and clueless. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

Object was seen north of Tybee Island and was stationary for a duration of around 45 minutes then vanished out of sight. I used my IPhone 13 Pro Max zoomed out as far as its limits to take photograph.

My boyfriend and I were walking our dog about 8:30 pm on Christmas night 2019. On our way back, I looked up and saw 6 reddish orange spheres/lights hovering above us. They were all hovering and moving south at the same slow speed. There was no sound at all and the lights were not flashing. I said to my boyfriend, "hey, what is THAT?" When he looked up, the lights changed to white and then we could only see four. At that point they looked to me almost like hazy little diamond shapes with a tiny circle in the center. My boyfriend said he did not see the diamond shapes, only little white circular orbs. They moved together and then apart again and did some acrobatics and crossed paths before they shot apart. After that, two went east and two went west at a high rate of speed and disappeared.

On Thanksgiving day he said I think that might be a UFO, which surprised me because I didn't think he would consider that. I didn't see what he did initially, but he said it was a bright light. He mentioned it to me - that maybe it was a UFO - and I looked and watched it, too. By then it wasn't bright, but a dim grayish completely round and obviously 3 dimensional object. It sat still for a minute or two then moved up and to the right where it sat for maybe another minute before it was gone. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see how it went away/disappeared as I was trying to take a picture of it. I'd like to know if anyone else in the area noticed anything.

I was on the balcony enjoying the light scattered rain while my friend slept. All of a sudden my phone froze and switched screens. Then RAPIDLY flipped through a FEW screens. By the time I got the words, "What the heck?" out, I glanced up toward the sky, and seen a strange flat type disc hovering the Atlantic! (I am a 38 year old lady and I'm putting EVERYTHING I KNOW AND OWN that this was NOT a boat!) I couldnt take my eyes off of it because I REALLY didnt want to believe it to be honest. So I made my right hand go behind me and slide the door open and mumbled for my friend to please come to the door. (I wanted him to tell me that wasnt what I thought it was. However, he did not.) It had yellow/orange tinge lights going around it. In uniform. And just kind of hovered there. Then it threw off two floater type lighting hover balls (?) that floated at the same level for a while. Then a few strikes of lightening were REALLY bright and it was confirmed. that it was NOT ON THE WATER-!! I WAS SO SCARED I actually started crying and I STILL WANT TO! Of course I do have a few pics I was somehow able to get. Then after a bit... It disappeared. Just GONE. About 2 minutes later came one HELL of a storm!!! Flooding the parking lot of the hotel I'm at and all. There happened to be a bit more that went on afterwards. The coastguard (if I'm not mistaken) had come oit to that same area about 20-30 mins later (give or take). I'd really appreciate it if those who specialize in this area would mind confirming? Maybe I need to get my eyes rechecked? Or that it was something? You're more than welcome to call if there are any questions. Thank you. ((witness's name deleted))

Observed a low flying craft moving northward across marshland and crossing highway 80. Direction of flight was away from the Savannah airport and we thought it may be a small plane heading to Hilton Head airport. The craft then turned straight towards us, dropping even lower in altitude (we thought it might be a craft that was about to make an emergency landing on the highway). When the craft was flying towards us, the white lights were even stronger and appeared more like bright, cone-shaped beams. The 3 white lights were exceptionally bright. The craft turned in a very small arc of motion, heading approximately in a SE direction. From our vantage point, the back side of the craft seemed to have approximately 5 less-bright, white lights and 2 red lights that blinked alternately on either side of the craft. It continued moving SE and very low over the marsh, making no sound ( thought it might have been a Coast Guard helicopter---but was absolutely without sound).

Fiery red lights appear and disappear above the Atlantic, just off the coast of Tybee Island.
