Cigar over Point Harbor, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed 10-16 lights when while on the bridge at 17:04 only caught 2 with my camera while driving. The lights came down like something burning up in the atmosphere but then they made 90 degree turns. The lights made different movements. No sound from air craft, weather was clear and this occurred at dusk. The lights disappeared at different times. Whole event a few minutes I pulled after the bridge I pulled off the road and captured the remaining two lights. The light was consistent throughout could not make out any objects.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151885). 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.
