Light over ASHBURN, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There were bright orange lights side by side moving very slowly. Sometimes there was one lone light. One bright light followed with another then another. The light from the glow made it appear the object was a triangle at certain points.There was no sound and it did not look like a meteor, definitely wasn't an airplane. I have never seen anything in the sky like what I saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160625). 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.
