Light over Julian, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One point of light moving from south to north causing a scattering of light effect similar to something entering the atmosphere at high speed (like a bullet entering water in slow motion) yet the night was clear and no other air craft presented this quality. The light then broke into two separate lights moving further away from each other with two more subsequent lights “breaking away” and moving in a N/NE direction.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160601). 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.
