Formation over Asbury, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A very large formation of red lights was sighted at the intersection of Asbury road and Hales Mill Road near the Asbury, Iowa City hall at about 9:00 PM. The objects were observed looking to the south to south west from the Asbury road side of the Asbury city hall Hales Mill Road intersection moving from the west to the east. From our viewpoint, the entire South to south western sky was filled with many red lights that we estimated to be comprised of 50 or more objects. We were driving so we proceeded about 1 mile east on Asbury road to a parking lot near the Hy-Vee store on Asbury road where several cell phone photos and a short video were taken of the objects. Then what appeared to be a green vortex was sighted just to the west of the object cluster. The objects looked like they were heading in the direction of the green vortex structure.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115374). 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.
