Sphere over Enigma, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 2:30 - 3:00 a.m. I noticed a faint light in the night sky in the north east. The light goes from being faint to about as bright as the bightest star in the sky in about 3 seconds. (Similar to if you turned a dimmer switch to the right). When it reaches ful brightness, it then slowly moves to the right (to the east) as if it's floating. It does this for about 4-5 seconds then dims until it's no longer visible. Roughly 3-5 minutes later, the light reappears the same way and in the same location it previously did. It will perform the same movement and disappear the same way as previously. Sometimes 2 lights appear instead of one. Sometimes the will move in the same direction in the same way. Sometimes they will appear and then go in opposite directions. I've been seeing this activity almost nightly for the past month when I originally noticed this.

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.
