Unknown over Farmville, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We had observed 2 nights ago multiple objects with flashing red, green, blue and white lights moving erratically in the sky. Last night we saw 2 white spheres in the same general location but they didn't appear to be moving so we dismissed that sighting. Tonight we again saw the colored lights in the same westerly direction from our position but could only see one and it was at a considerably higher elevation than our previous sighting. It appeared to be a bit farther away also but we could still note the erratic movements that were unlike any normal airplane or helicopter.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174850). 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.

The object was too far away to determine it's shape but had multiple red, green and blue lights flashing and the craft moved in a very irradic fashion. Sometimes still and then quickly moving in a zig-zag fashion unlike the movement of a normal aircraft or helicopter. We observed additional similar light groups that were spaced out and further away from us. It is now almost 1 am and we still see them, the closest one having moved a considerable distance from where we first observed it.

Not fast moving, not straight paths, closet one could clearly see at least 6 lights in round arrangement, but not close enough to tell craft shapes. Unsure of total number, at least 3. Still there 12:45 am, moving in periodic zig zags and other small erratic repositionings. Can't get pictures from phone into your upload file box. Back to watching.

I(health care worker) visited a education secretary @ local motel with pool.Walked outside to pool,stood looking at gathering clouds out of the West.Large square airship with red triangular lights on opposite side, wandered by. 4 white lights in the square section turned from white to blue,as ship hovered in place for 30 seconds. A light pole was used as reference for movement. After turning very bright,the 4 lights intensified, the red triangle light seemed to fill up with red neon,as craft silently drifted away to the North,and in mere seconds crossed the horizon.
