A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A clear night, lots of star formations. Walking dogs, every night. Looked above tree line due to large bright lights coming towards us. At first, there was a huge triangle of lights, very big and bright. Then, the form changed into 3 huge, impressive entities. NO SOUND, GLIDING across the sky, at times, hovering very low. Each of the objects were top to bottom, if you will. Imagine a long 2 X 4 piece of lumber, the smaller end at the top and the longer part being vertical. HUGE glowing, impressive bright lights on each one. After they were side by side, slowly, silently, all 3, one at a time started to leave. When each one left, alone, it turned ever so slighly as to expose the outline of the object from the lights exposing the magnitude of the size of each one. Then each one left exactly same way. The most AMAZING sight I have ever seen in my 64 yrs. 4 witnessed

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 noticed a teardrop shaped fireball in the NW evening sky. It appeared to be glowing with steady flames. It remained in the same spot for several seconds before getting a little smaller and then GONE!
