Oval over Piedmont, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving down I85 south, I saw a bright light with no clouds in the sky. I assumed the object was a man made aircraft with sun reflecting off the metal surface. The object then began to pulse bright light and made a jerky movement before glowing extremely bright and vanishing. As said before, there were no clouds in the sky for the object to be hidden behind.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150156). 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.

As we drive down the highway, we see anywhere from 1-10 items flying up, left, right and disappearing and repearing. Although it could have been a plane, we watched to make sure it wasn’t and the entire time we stayed and watch we could not make it out as any planes. The direction is was flying wasn’t consistent with normal flying planes, they would fly towards one another glow and disappear and again repeat throughout us witnessing.
