Sphere over Waycross, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I stepped outside to smoke before bed, & while looking north, I noticed an unusual Red light moving from west to east at approximately 70 mph. Immediately I checked the Flightradar 24 app on my IPhone. There was no aircraft in the area whatsoever. This light was brighter than normal & the weather was clear at that time of the night. I estimated the altitude to be about 10 degrees above the horizon. Also noted was the fact there was no sound associated with the light. Had it been an aircraft, I would have certainly been able to hear it. The estimated distance from my location was approximately one mile. I observed the light for about 7 seconds until it disappeared behind a copse of trees. It did not resume its path once behind the trees. The object appeared to be following near the path of the Satilla River.

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.
