The report, as filed
While driving I saw 3 red flashing lights followed by a flashing white strobe like light. They appeared to all be in a fairly straight line and moving in the opposite direction I was heading. When discussing this with someone else 40 miles north east, they had described seeing the same thing from there standpoint. I shut the car off to video, and they did have a steady, white noise like sound. They continued in the opposite direction as I continued on my route.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149260). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
