Light over Prosperity, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went out at around 4:15 or 4:30 am to let the dogs out. I often look up when I am out at night, so I saw a cluster of stars (I thought) that began moving and flickering out. Some would light up bright white (a little larger than the brightest star) move a little and fade away. Some were red or orange. It lasted about 10 minutes, but I have no idea how long it was going on before I went out. It was almost in the same exact spot in the sky (from my vantage point), that the famous solar eclipse that happened a few years back. It was directly overhead and about 30 degrees to the south. I asked my wife to see and she observed 2 or 3 near the end. It appeared to be higher than a commercial flight. I would guess 60-80,000 feet. I shot a green laser at them, but not sure that it had any reaction to it. It felt alive or in unison if that helps.

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.
