Light over Old Fort, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went outside on my front porch to get some peace and quiet away from family. I looked up facing East @ 110°. Made eye contact with what looked like a star that was moving at the same rate of the ISS or LEO satellite. (Approx 15,000 MPH). That’s what I assumed it was, especially with the sun setting in the west refracting light that could make it visible at night time. Suddenly it stopped. It started to pinball/bounce 5-10 times the speed it was traveling before stopping in a triangle like pattern. 1,2,3, and it zoomed off towards the Southwest in an extremely fast fashion. I had to ask myself if I had just witnessed that, and I know I did for a fact. I have listened to many accounts from the Navy Pilots and any credible persons explaining this kind of event. They are dead on at how fast they move and change direction. It was the first UAP/UFO I have ever witnessed. However, I was observing this one from the ground, watching it far above earth’s atmosphere. I was startled, I wasn’t shocked. I was more in a reality check on asking myself if I actually just seen that. I know I did. I honestly just smiled, because it felt like affirmation of knowing the truth from people’s factual and witness accounts such as the Navy Pilots. The picture I took was a handful of seconds after my account to document the approximate size area in the sky this “craft” had stopped, maneuvered, and disappeared.

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.
