Light over Rayville, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
50 to 60 white lights streaming from the Nortwestern to Southeastern sky in almost perfect formation. There was a few that was slightly out of line but was flying really close together. Didn't hear any sound so we do not believe it was any type of military aircraft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151519). 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.
