Formation over Myrtle Beach, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting outside looking North along the beach when three lights that appeared to be stars at first started circling around each other. The objects appeared to be hovering at a distance away from each other before circling. After they rotated around each other two times they parted ways and went opposite directions. After about three seconds the objects approached each other again and made two to three more rotations after which they parted ways again. One object completely disappeared while the others remained in the sky hovering in the same location. The objects seemed to be white/light orange in appearance and did not flash or make any sound. They were high enough in the sky to appear the same size and brightness as stars. The observers were a 23 year old male, a 51 year old male, and a 51 year old female. The previous night the same observers witness two objects slightly brighter than stars fly across the full length of the horizon in about 5 seco! nds. They were moving too slow to be meteors, and too fast to be any identifiable aircraft. Both moving in opposite directions.

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.
