Light over Walland, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home around 12:30 am my partner and I saw a red light. The light was not huge, but it was similar to a red light on a plane. Maybe three times the size. There was no blinking and it was stationary. Not much higher than the top of the mountain. In the left hand lane a blount county police suv was parked without lights, except the bar above lit with white. Very eerie.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174344). 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.
