Light over Washington, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were watching the sky for falling stars or satellites but suddenly there appeared 2 bright lights doing quick, short synchronized darting and at times would come together to one light. Then they would separate and move together in synchronization again. We tried to video with our Apple phone but it didn’t show up on the video.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171843). 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.
