Light over Pleasant Garden, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a light moving from my window and I started to watch it. I saw the object move in an up and down motion and occasionally side to side. I tried to get video and I did capture it although it was too far away to make it out clearly. Two airplanes flew by with red lights underneath and when they got near the area in the sky where this object was, the light dimmed and it stood completely still in the sky. No movement at all. Once the airplanes were out of sight, the craft began to move up and down again. The video does not capture what I saw with my naked eye but I definitely saw it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154469). 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.
