Other over Bath, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took a series of 7 photos. Looking left and right in front of our house. Three of these photos show irregularities in the sky over the river. It was about 7:35 or so, the sun had not set. The sky was unbelievable, looking like something out of a movie. The first photo which unusual things are seen, shows a long slender black pole coming down vertically out of the clouds. Next to it is a similar extension, but it looks as though it is not solid, and a “Y” shape with the “tail” being squared off vertically with the river. Another photo shows two objects to the right of the top of our flagpole at the end of the dock. Another photo shows a pink elongated object, mimicking the color of the clouds above it. The air/atmosphere seemed electrified. I will include 5 photos in the order that they were taken. I used my I Phone 12 to take the photos. It was not raining and there was no string wind. Small waves can be seen on the 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.
