Circle over Zachary, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Don't recall the exact day, but it was at the end of April in 2022, around 10pm, and I had let my dogs out to pee in the back yard. There's a group of large trees across the yard, on the other side of the fence, and a noise that sounded like a bunch of birds chirping suddenly came from those trees. But then the noise started to shift, going in a NE direction from my POV, and it got louder and it hovered over the fence between my yard and my neighbor's driveway. And then the sound of birds shifted into a whirling sound, and then this object that looked like a yellow, glowing super moon (from our perspective on how we see the moon), that had solar flares in it, about 50 to 80 feet above, with a solid white glowing ring around it, moved very quickly overhead and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178002). 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.

I was on my front porch looking at my phone when I suddenly hear a low rumbling noise that began to slowly get louder. At first being near Baton Rouge with our chemical plants, I thought the noise was the plant kicking up their flame stacks to burn more chemicals. Sometimes at night they do this and you can hear it for about 30 minutes to an hour. I walked out to get a better idea of which direction it was coming from and immediately noticed a group of flashing lights in the sky. I knew this couldn't be airplanes flashing in the distance because of first off the lights were in a triangle shape and they were all the same distance from me. Also the lights were flashing in ssequential order from left to right in perfect timing. I watched as the sound got louder and then noticed they were all moving together towards northwest from original location I spotted it in. The lights lead me to believe instead of 5 different objects, this was one very large object. As! large as my town half of my town of Zachary Louisiana. Roughly 4 miles across. As it moved away I ran and woke my mother to have a second witness. My mom does not believe in UFOs and she was also convinced it was one large triangle. As it got further away the rumbling stopped and also the front light became solid and stayed on until no lights were visible. I would LOVE to know if anything was reported on Radar being I live near Baton Rouge airport. This also means I am used to flashing lights from planes and also study passing satellites and orbiting rocket bodies using a sky monitoring app for satellites in the sky. Lots of cloud cover tonight but clouds were very high. I did not see any single planes tonight though. These were the only lights. I always see strange objects because I watch the skys. I have seen more than one anomalies in the same direction from my front yard. But this was the first ever hearing anything and first triangle craft or at least formation.

The object appeared to be a large wing shape and white, and had sort of a faint glow as if light was reflecting off of it.
