Light over Grandview Heights, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I've been watching and am still currently watching a small light about a mile away outside my window with colorful lights, strobing red lights around a green and white light in the center that did not strobe or blink. The lights change the interval of blinks as if scanning or communicating. I've been watching it for nearly an hour move back and forth, hovering in certain spots. Sometimes the lights will completely stop strobing and sometimes it's will strobe in in 3x3 grid shape. Also seen it light up in to a triangle. There's no sound or structure to the object. Just lights. I'll keep you posted as I'm still watching it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162802). 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.
