Circle over Oconto Falls, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were sitting by the bonfire, looking up in the sky, when we noticed 2 orange objects coming from the south heading northwest. They disappeared in the northwest clouds when 2 more appeared and did the same thing. We seen a total of 11 orange objects within a half hour period. They all went the same way and disappeared, there was no engine sound or anything, for that matter. I took my cell phone and tried to record it and one did turn out somewhat. My husband and I never seen anything like this in our lifetime. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I have an error on my report It was August 31st, 2014, not August 2001. I must not have paid attention to the entire e-mail and how I replied to it. I do have a short video that I can send but you can't really see it that good. sorry for the error on my part but was just found my report and it was way wrong on the date. ((END ADDENDUM)) We wonder whether the date shown above may be flawed. We have written the witness, requesting confirmation of the August 1st, 2001, date. PD

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.
