Light over Mount Airy, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 9:35 pm While setting outside I happen to look up in north west Direction and noticed a string of lights flying toward the south west in a perfect line and evenly spaced and flying quietly I was able to have my family come out and we all where able to watch the event unfold, We stood in our drive way for at least 5 mins and watch the event there had to be at least 100 of the lights flying in this line the last one disappeared from view at 9:41 exactly. I would have to belive other people had to see this! there where other aircraft in the sky at this time these things where not normal.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163075). 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.

Driving home and saw something flying over the field close to home. It really wasn’t large in size but can’t give an exact size. I drove passed it unable to get a photo and when I looked in my mirror it was gone. It was a dark grayish almost black color.
