Light over Castleton, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When I pulled into the hospital parking lot last night I looked out of my car window and noticed in the sky a large number of orange-ish round lights flying west at a fairly fast speed. There was one light per object. They kept coming up from the horizon from the east, flying upwards and west at various altitudes and not in any particular formation. It was eerie because they dominated the sky. It was very quiet. This took place at Community Hospital North and was witnessed by one other person that I am aware of. I estimate over the 15 minutes that I stood there observing that there were about 40-50 lights total that eventually flew off into the distance.

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.
