Light over Clinton, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

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.

We observed a oval shaped greenish object in the sky. It was quickly moving from west to east. It moved so fast that it seemed to look like it left a tracer of light. It moved into view as we were driving on Lake City Hwy. It moved in and out of view in 3 seconds. As we turned a corner the sky opened up and I saw it again very briefly move across the sky and out of view.

It had one bright light. It had three legs that blinked red.

Walked outside during the super bowl. Looked up and there was a bright light in the sky, way up in the sky. I thought it must be an airplane, but its lights were different. There were probably 10 lights, white-ish in color in a circular pattern around a circular object. I still thought this has to be an airplane, but it was sitting in one place not moving. Then when it did move it shifted left and the back to the right. At this point I went to get my family, but when we came back it was gone. If I had to give a direction of where I saw it in the sky it would have been a little to the left of where the constellation, Orion or Orions belt is. But at an airplanes causing (sic. airplane's cruising ??)) altitude.

I was in my garden in the afternoon of August 11, 2016, spraying some of the plants. The time was approximately 5:45 EDT. I was also looking for a good place for a chair, so I could sit and watch the meteor shower later that night. I looked toward the sky to find the most open spot in the trees. I noticed the objects in the eastern sky in about the 2 o'clock position. There were five round, bright lights. Two in the front and three in the rear. The three in the rear were in formation. I turned on my phone and opened the camera app and began to record video. The sun was bright and I had trouble seeing the screen, so I was just guessing where to point in the beginning. Then I was able to get in a position to see the phone's screen. I recorded video for about two minutes. The two in front were moving north and then stopped for a few seconds. Then one moved quickly of view and then the other did as well. The three in formation began moving toward the north. The lights began to fade and I stopped recording. I noticed after I stopped the video, there was a dark object where one of the forward lights had been. The object appeared to have a shadowy aura. It then moved north out of view. I estimate the length of time from when I first saw the objects until they were no longer in view to be about 2 ½ minutes.

Was looking out of the jail house window going to say prayer before I went to bed. Then I seen 3 big amber orange craft come over the ridge in front of us. They hovered over the Clinch River like they were in formation, except the 3rd one started to move around erratic. I hollered at my cell mates to hurry and look out their windows. We all were freaking out over it. I remember the fear of never feeling so small and helpless. I knew that we had seen something other worldly. So we called for the night shift guard and I remember that she was so calm about it. She proceeded to tell us that she seen them the night before on her way to work on I-75 South. She then tells us that she seen the exact same and that they almost caused a wreck with a big tractor and trailer. Don't understand why she was so calm about it because I have never been so terrified in my life. The weird thing is that I don't remember how they left. It's like blocked in my mind or something.
