Light over Dutchtown, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a stationary light in the night sky. Color was changing from red to green. First thought it was an airplane but it stayed stationary too long. Then it made a quick movement across the sky, stopped and moved quickly again. Saw it far on the horizon again stationary. Then a quick move and lost sight of it. Maybe a minute later the object passed quickly overhead as a white bright light and went over the horizon. Never heard any noise.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156481). 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.
