Light over Pikeville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Every night since May, except when its raining, a bright small light comes down from the sky and visits me. No matter how high in the sky it is, if I peek out my window, it sees me and comes down to see me as if it’s as curious about me as I am it. If it rains, it does not come down. It stays in the sky until dawn then disappears into the clouds. The closest it’s gotten is about 25 yds. I do not have a fancy camera so the films I’ve made in the dark from my phone is all I have. It looks like a starfish but it glows. There is something that follows along side of it and it doesn’t glow but moves with it. When it moves it shoots out white light across the treetops and sky, it reminds me of heat lighting. My husband has seen it many times and at first thought it must be a drone but now he’s not sure what it is. One night I was lying in bed and it came so close that my hair was standing up on my crown. My dog senses when it gets too close and starts growling. When I tell people about it, they just laugh at me so I haven’t had anyone come see for themselves except my husband. He has seen it but he is afraid it’s a drone. This is not a drone, it makes no noise.

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.
