Formation over Tybee island, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were watching for shooting stars and out of the west an “>” formation strip of light with a cloud like orb around it from the west then went slightly south then East over the ocean. It was silent and left us silent. It moved slowly but a little faster almost airplane speed. Then 30ish minutes later an even bigger aircraft of the same formation cane from the west and moved East slowly and silent. More visible. It was unexplainable. Thought it was a bird or a military ship but the movement was like none other.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166133). 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.
