Light over Creedmoor/ Wake Forest, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
To far to see shape. Close enough to see it wasn’t an airplane. Looked like a star but stars don’t shake back and forth the way this was. Was like when you use that laser toy that you point to the wall and have your cat chase around. One second it’s still, then in a instant it switches position. Very high in the sky. Like if they were observing or simply kicking back. Waved hand to it, stopped its jiggling back and forth immediately. Don’t know if it saw me but it reacts to signals of attention. Disappears instantly. The “star” is no longer there. Color seemed to be white, and a tint of reddish. Hard to believe but definitely not a plane, cause a few planes pass by almost every time I go to this location, and you can definitely tell the difference.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161712). 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.
