Circle over Holly Springs, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw 30 to 40 tiny lights moving one by one. Every 30 secs another light followed by another. 3 formed a triangle. We thought they where satellites at first until the lights starting moving in unison.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156201). 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.

Three orange-red circles were moving north, and almost collided with an aircraft that suddenly changed direction when it was barely meters away from whatever the lights were. The light came from the outer rings, and they appeared to be hollow in the middle. No sound, no trail.

Driving west after picking children up from school I see a white egg shaped object in the sky . I’m driving and slow down to almost a stop. I think maybe a bird or plane . It flies north then stops then north again then west then disappears. I thought maybe sun was hitting a plane wrong but it was egg shaped and not a ballon . It was flying then stops for a few seconds then flies then disappears . I did not alarm my kids . It was close to Shearon Harris Nuclear power plant maybe 10 miles of so away . Just disappeared , I once I got home I looked again toward the north and west , really all over the sky but never saw anything else .

I did not think much of it until it stopped moving. I assumed at that point it was a helicopter. I finished my walk, still watching the light. 45 Minutes later I had to leave for work. I got it on film. Unfortunately, all you can see is a light.
