Egg over fredericksburg, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My daughter, son in law and myself were sitting outside and we saw a glowing green neon light top half looked like an egg and the bottom half was flat hovering for about 45 seconds. It moved to the left at lightning speed about a half a mile in less than a second and then stopped and hovered again for about 30 seconds. It then dropped in mid air about 150 feet for 10 seconds and then jumped back up 150 feet to its original spot. It hovered again for less than a minute and took off at lightening speed back to the right where I originally saw it. I pulled my camera out and it disappeared. There was no lights blinking and there was no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170872). 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.
