Changing over Sunbright, TN
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
My sister and her 3 sons are seeing these nightly. It reminds me of the Aurora Borealis the way it shifts but there are some type of crafts accompanying the atmosphere changes that morph color and play tag. I have tried to find a reasonable explanation but there is none. Law enforcement refuses to respond because our county is very meth stricken so they think she is on drugs hallucinating and she isn't.

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.
