Cylinder over Attalla, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
They seemed to be chasing each other in a circular motion. There was 5 small crafts that appeared. This continued on for at least 35-40 minutes. The bottom of each craft had 4 red and white lights in what seemed to be rotating. They each had what appeared to be a green light going out the top. It was quite spectacular to watch. It appeared as if they were playing a game of chase with each other. I wish I had recorded the event but it was so amusing to watch that I just couldn't pull myself away from watching them.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176688). 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.

It was amazing. I just took my dog out. Its daylight out so I found it kinda weird when I looked up and seen it. The lights was so bright. And it just sit there for a bit then started to move direction like up and down before it vanished from site. This may sound weird but it made me feel something I can't quite explain and I was like in a trance for a minute or so. Its the most wonderful thing I've ever seen.

When they left, they left rapidly and blinked out. Been coming for little over a week now. Along Highway 77. We suspect that the lights may have been advertising lights, but we cannot confirm our suspicion by contacting the witness, since he provides no contact information. PD
