Light over Holden Beach, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My daughter and I were sitting on our beach house back deck when we saw two yellow lights over the ocean in the southern sky. The lights disappeared after 5 seconds. Then there were at least 7-10 bright white quickly flashing lights in the eastern sky for about 10 seconds and they disappeared. They were not airplanes. The lights were too fast, only white and too close together. About 5 minutes later we saw one yellow light again and then it disappeared and the second yellow light appeared and disappeared. Again, we saw the white flashing lights again. This happened 4 more times with 5 minute breaks between each time. There was a light yellow haze around the yellow lights we saw. I tried to use my phone camera to capture what we saw but it wouldn’t pick up the lights.

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.
