Light over Canton, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on the phone in my backyard and noticed a ball of light pads over a tree and disappear then another and another u til I counted 20 in total. They all were the same brightness as the stars and all disappeared in the same exact spot. We saw two of the 20 reappear and fly almost into each other and then spaced out then flew almost into each other again before fading away.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178671). 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.

Had just made it to work with a co-worker of mine. parked facing east and sat for a minute listening to the radio. it was around 7:20 a:m. was studying what i thought was a morning star above the tree line. But realised it was too bright. and it looked like it was pulsing a little bit. Then noticed it was SLOWLY ascending. Then its light began to grow dim and it gradually picked up speed and ascended above cloud coverage outta sight. 10 minutes later the cloud coverage was gone and nothing was in sight.

Around 10 PM I was closing the blinds and noticed a very large triangle shaped object flying very slow and silently over my house, it was low to the ground, maybe a thousand feet up or so. It slowly and silently flew directly over my house a continued headed north. There were lights on all three corners of the craft and was so large that a plane could have landed in it easily. Did anybody else see this?

No noise was coming from craft, they were very bright silver in color. At one time stood Motionless in sky. I got my iphone camera out, was on live view so did not get the pictures I thought I would get. What I saw with my eyes was not what the iphone recorded. Do not understand this. Again the Farm Bureau rep talked we agreed we would write this off who would believe us. The UFO was trailer shape 20X40 at the most no noise or lights. Speed leaving was not from this world, gone in the blink of the eye. I did call Cherokee Sheriff dept , they came out gave report. Called the FAA at 10:54 and talked to Torrance L Branch operation mananger 770-210-7622. Also sent him pictures of What I saw. Again they turn up as little bright patches in sky, this is not what your eyes see. When you first see a UFO you do not know how to react, it is something the mind does not Know how to sort out. Contacted National UFO Reporting Center, talked to Peter Davenport by phone and filing this report. Awaiting word from FAA if this was in radar in the Atlanta,Ga area. We are not alone. Thank you ((personal information deleted)) We spoke with the witness via telephone, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. PD
