Oval over Monks Corner, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was gazing upon the full moon and Jupiter when the slowly moving double-oval disk, one with green and the other with red light appeared. Moving extremely slowly, almost hovering, it took time to realize its movement. To confirm it was not a window reflection, I exited my room into the dark night. The sighting was verified by another guest. I stopped viewing before its disappearance because I was in sheer pajamas and did not want to be seen. I was attending a retreat at Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery of the Cistercian Order, located on an 18th century 7,000 acre rice plantation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171812). 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.
