Triangle over Tellico plains, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Black triangle with white lights on each corner and a sort of "observation deck" on one side. It flew silently flat side forward very slowly maybe 500 feet above my house. The next time I saw it it was hovering over a field near my house. The third time I saw it it seemed to follow me home from work. Each time I saw it it was about 9:00pm eastern time. I live in an area where F-16 fighter pilots are commonly trained and fly over my house.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166334). 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.
