Changing over Opelousas, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sphere pulsating object darting at light speed from left to right then hovering then moving again all the while pulsating from bright to dim. Crazy incredible. I know of no craft other than ufo that can move that quickly
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172225). 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 driving back home from checking on my farm, when I saw an oblong shape suspended ahead in the southern horizon. I estimate this shape was 8-10 miles away from my position. I pulled off to the side of the road and observed the shape for 10-15 seconds. It did not move. It was perfectly still, and was at a slight angle in the sky. After that, drove to my home, approximately 1 mile from where I was parked, to retrieve a pair of binoculars. I could not see the shape from my house due to the trees, so I drove back to the spot I was at. I estimate this took me 4 or 5 minutes. By the time I got back to the position I last saw it, it was not in the sky.

There were, what looked like 2 stars that were flashing red, blue, and green at irregular intervals. It looked like the strobe lights on top of police cars, but coming from a small dot in the sky.
