Flash over Louisville, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Directly overhead a single very strong bright white flash the size of an average star but very bright and distinct. Only one flash, a point of light, not the whole sky, waited a decent amount of time to make sure it was not an aircraft or rotating space junk satellite. Perfectly clear sky, no haze, no clouds, not lightning. This is the fourth time I have seen this. Last three sightings were 3 weeks ago at approximately the same time, all the same night within 60 seconds there were 3 flashes. Perfectly clear sky, no haze, no clouds, not lightning. 2 witnesses on the previous sighting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111789). 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.

We have no idea what it was. On another night, about a month ago, we saw two objects in the same area of the sky that looked like stars but they were moving really fast then disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
