Circle over Fairview, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting outside this evening and noticed this reddish colored object in the sky. Thought it was some sort of firework at first but then relized it should have burnt out and this one was farley high in the sky. It looked like it stopped a couple of times and then kept moving is a south westerly direction. It looked like it then disappeared into the clouds. There were 6 of us watching it we all are unclear of what it was something we have never seen before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111792). 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.
