Formation over Bauxite, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took the dog out to pee. Looked up to the west at the stars and saw a stream of lights single file traveling at a slow rate of speed moving from south headed north. There was no sound. They would appear from the south travel north and disappear. I ran inside to get my phone and came back out to take a video but couldn’t see any on my screen. So I ran back inside and got my camera and though I couldn’t see them on my screen I was able to get one picture of one of them. After they had all flown by I called my wife to tell her what I saw. I came inside for a few minutes and went back outside for another look. I saw them all at once at a high altitude in a single file making like a single line. Then they faded out.

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.

Bauxite, AR
I was on my way home from a date around 1:30 Saturday morning. In Bauxite, I turned left at the light onto W Sardis Rd. As I was driving, I happened to look up and I saw this enormous amount of light in a near distance. I knew it wasn't a shooting star or a plain because I had never seen anything like it! This light was a pinkish purplish color and very bright. Nothing but light. The light seemed like it was falling from space down to Earth. For a second I thought it could have been a meteor or something like that, but then it just disappeared. It just disappeared instantly. I believe that it was a UFO sighting, and I will continue to believe this until there is some way to prove the enormous odd colored light heading for Earth's surface and then disappearing.
