Probable conventional

Unknown over Murrels Inlet, AL

A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.

The report, as filed

Three separate sighting within 20 minutes. We watched two high-flying crafts trek the entirety of the night sky at incredible speeds. High and fast. These were orange/yellow in color. They both exited view. We then looked up and the 15-20 blue lights connected by a single blue light uncloaked and headed east. It moved slowly and had no sound. It was approximately 100 ft above us. We both tried taking pics and videos but it did not register. Our videos were blank, black. Her pictures did not even register. It was as if we didn't use our phones. We sat for approximately 15 minutes when we noticed 6 orange orbs stack on each (2 rows, 3 columns). This was interactive. I felt as if I were being struck with multiple strings of energy. The other witness was about 5 feet from me when this was occurring. She reported being able to feel me touching her. It felt as I was being pulled towards these lights, although I had no issue resisting. The lights began the appearance of approaching us. That's when I decided to pursue the lights on foot. I made the solo trek south, along the coast line towards the orange lights. As I got closer, I heard an electric sound coming towards me and then I was hit with what I can describe as a electrical pulse directly into my chest. It did not hurt. I kneeled down and thought it was a warning to leave.. but I did not. That's when the orange lights switched to one red light that spawned approximately 6 smaller red lights that floated around the original red light. I was at the end of the peninsula when this occurred. I have 20/20 vision and know what I saw. I am also a registered nurse and know what's real and what is not. I went back the following night to debunk the orange and red lights, but could not. There is also an accidental picture taken the prior evening of a 4 light object above the house. These are saved on personal thumb drives. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

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.
