Formation over Winona, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Four separate bright white lights traveling across the sky, distort the light from stars as they pass.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. 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.

Our window sits about 8 feet from the outside floor so something had to be up in the sky ... with no sound.
