Flash over Fairview, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Whole Western portion of sky flashed green, then appeared normal. Quickly flashed red and pink, back to normal and then blue to red. No sound. Flashes of light and dark have occasionally been happening in same direction since, still ongoing as of time reported. No obvious shape. No origin point detectable. We took video but it remained dark, could not be picked up as it appeared almost as colored clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176690). 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.

I was driving down Highway 17 in Fairview. When I looked up and saw a teardrop or Starlight shape two white lights one on top one on bottom two green lights to the left and right. Got out of my car to take a closer look and it just floated off in a cloud appeared there was no other clouds in the sky that night. Then I saw streams in the sky from exhaust possibly military crafts pursuing it.

Light object did not move. It had an orange/yellow glow and was below clouds. Light lasted for 20-30 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I just saw 6 lights flying in a straight line high up in the sky directly overhead. I heard a very loud humming sound and it got so loud it was shaking the house. They were in a perfectly straight line moving either in sequence unless it was one object. From the height in the sky I would estimate it was at least a mile or more in length from the front light to the tail.
