Light over Falkville, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw one bright, white light. It moved at a steady pace from the south up to the north. Faster than satellites, planes or helicopters. It never flickered, had no shape surrounding the light I could see and never fluctuated its path. As soon as the 1st light was gone I saw 2 more of a similar appearance going the same direction. Possibly a couple of miles apart from each other. When those 2 had almost passed beyond the horizon I saw a 4th one heading south, having just passed the other two I witnessed. I've watched the night sky a lot in my life and have seen several different things. I've never seen anything like this before.

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.
