Light over Adel, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two bright white lights over the top of hill moved towards us they were about a mile away. They traveled from the southeast to northwest then when they were on our side of the hill they moved in several directions at right angles and different speeds at one point they turned straight down. Then moved down maybe 50 feet then turned back towards us then moved very fast back up then slowly went over the hill and down the other side then we lost sight of them. At first we thought it was a pickup on the hill then we saw sky under the lights and the outline of the hill top below them.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115687). 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.
