Circle over Wears Valley, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My brother and I were in the hot tub at our cabin in the smoky mountains and we looked up and saw one moving object that was flashing red. The object was seen moving towards Venus (the sky was incredibly visible that night). About 2 minutes later 3 different objects had appeared and zipped back and fourth between Venus and a random star. When the first UFO disappeared the other three formed in a triangle and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154542). 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.
