Chevron over Portsmouth and Virginia Beach, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright white and blue object next to the moon . I was traveling home when I saw it in Portsmouth, Va, about 20 minutes from my home in Virginia Beach. I saw it again still next to the moon. Like a shape of a plane. It bounced sides to side. I was able to take a picture. Oddly the moon that was bright with a blue glow around it appears very dark in the picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157480). 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.
