Light over Melbourne, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Initially only one object was seen, a bright orange light which pulsed twice before disappearing. After about five minutes we witnessed what we believed to be the same object, brighter than before, shining in the same place it was initially seen. It pulsed once, shining for 1.5-2 seconds, then a second orange light appeared next to it, pulsed once in the same manner, after which the first light pulsed a second time. They repeated this process twice more and then both shone brightly for half a second before fading away. No further visual contact.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170544). 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.
