Unknown over Tifton, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a large flash of light (two beside each other) that became larger as if it were headlights of an aircraft about to land in the interstate) but it quickly went away. There was a red flashing light that appeared to be the aircraft that quickly let off another light that looked the same (more visible and looked like a large spark). The craft then quickly went to its right then quickly turned and went south. Sharply turned. We saw a very bright light (like a bright star) shortly afterwards in the same direction that just disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153493). 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.

Moving steadily with no sound or contrail but very high up in the air. Lights could be seen reflecting from the craft. We were in our backyard when it was seen.
