Triangle over DeKalb, MS

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

We are in a very low populated area with no outside lights or noises. The surrounding area is mostly pine trees. We were outside at about 5:50am on October 3, 2023, drinking coffee and looking at the stars like we do most mornings. Normally we will see stars and satellites. In this area it is rare to see aircraft at night. On this calm clear morning, we observed three large white lights close together in a triangle shape that appeared to be all part of the same craft. These lights appeared to be low in the sky and close to us. The lights moved from the East to the West at a slow and steady pace with no noise or disruption. There were no colored (red and green) lights like an aircraft. There was no noise like an aircraft. It was very low, seemed very close to us and made no sounds or wind movement at all. It was observed in the clear sky with no cloud cover, No wind, no noise, no other lights, and no obstructions from trees. Then it vanished. It didn't change direction or shoot into the sky. It just vanished/went dark as we were watching it and talking about it.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178588). 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.
