Triangle over Greeneville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A friend and I were driving east/Northeast on Andrew Johnson Highway when we saw two lightsts in the sky at a red light near businesses in the eastern part of town- coming into Greeneville from the Afton area, that turned into three lights. The lights were not flashing. They did seem to move. There was no noise. There were other cars around at the time. It was approximately 9 PM on January 6, 2023. We were able to see the craft for about another minute. It seem to be moving east in the sky slowly. After the object had moved on slowly, we observed what was maybe a helicopter with red and green lights, heading toward the direction of the triangular craft but not following the craft closely.

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.

Was seen right below the ceiling during an approaching thunderstorm. I captured it on my drone footage. Gold in color, oval shaped with a ledge around it. Took off at a speed too fast to see but can see it with the video slowed down. Only one observed and I’ve never seen anything like it before.

We were driving home. Saw a bright green amorphous fireball coming down in front of us. It lasted only seconds and in my observation would have crashed Since it was already low to the ground. Would have crashed between the base of the mountain and some acreage behind the property. I’m not a good judge of distance but this was close. The brightness of the green was amazing. I turned to the other person in the car and asked did you see that. I think I’m still in shock.

I am 34 year old male truck driver wjo has a college degree. I was outside playing with my two children with toy guns. I pretended to get shoot and was on the ground looking at the sky an object that was stationary over my back yard that was really brilliant whitish golor. It started moving after 30 Seconds and it was going southwest and then a second object came into view. I yelled at my wife who before this started went to go get my kids some drinks in the house. She did not hear me. The 2nd object was going around the center object really fast and both still going southwest finally just blinked off and I could not see it anymore.

My wife and I saw a sphere in the sky approx 25000 ft (About normal commercial aircraft traffic alt.) I had been watching a few jets in the sky, when I asked my wife if she was seeing what I saw. It was a silver Sphere. No jet stream as the other jets were leaving. No sign of lights, wings or fuselage. It seemed to just sit for a few seconds and then disappear straight up into the sky.
