Light over Belington (Barbour Co. Fairgrounds), WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was attempting to take photos of fireworks at our county fairgrounds with my phone. I was reviewing my photos the next day when I noticed the streak of light above left of a single burst. My son had been video recording the event. He reviewed his video and found the object 'flash' through approximately 2-3 seconds of video. Each appearance lasted about 1-2 tenths of second, according to our phone video time counter
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147417). 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.
