Unknown over Canyonlands National Park, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While camping husband, Grandchild and myself went to the tent around 1:00am. All of a sudden I woke up to a bright light above the tent, (bright spot light or beam of light) the whole top was lite. There was also flickering dancing lights on side of tent, I would say at least 10 more lights. No sound; whenever lights were done it was like a light switch turned off. The whole time lights were outside, I suffered a terrible headache, and it went away 5 minutes after lights left.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113119). 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.
