Light over Jamaica, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While walking my dogs just before sunrise in the countryside in Urbanna just north of US-17 on Reed Drive, I saw a three-pointed star in the western sky over Jamaica. It consisted of continuous, smooth white light. It did not move. After about five minutes, I saw a different object just above the western horizon. It had white lights punctuated by distinct round circles and was larger because it was closer to me. I saw the two objects in the sky at the same time. The closer one vanished a moment after I spotted it. Several minutes later, the first object vanished. Several minutes after that, I saw a bright light in the southern sky, which soon vanished. I did not have my mobile phone on hand. Too bad!

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.
