Formation over Spout Springs, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 10:02 pm I saw 2 orange glowing objects which changed color from orange to red to gold and kept changing. They were moving slowly, in one direction together in a loose formation above me, silently. The moon was out, but low, and it was drizzling a little rain - I have a video of it. They were coming from the West from being over Fort Bragg NC military housing which is next to Fort Bragg proving grounds where they practice artillery and do jumps. They "floated" together silently, moving in one direction overhead. Their colors kept changing and they seemed to stay at the same height which was about 500 feet. They then started fading in and out as if they were being shrouded in clouds but there were no clouds that low. One vanished and there was one still visible. Then the one remaining just vanished completely. All without a sound .

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.
