Circle over Reed Point, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A STATIONARY BRIGHT PULSATING FLASHING OF COLORS FROM RED, BLUE & GREEN EVERY 1 SECOND APART. VERY OBVIOUS AND EXTREMELY BRIGHT IN THE SOUTHEASTERN SKY. WE LOOKED FOR SATELLITES IN THE AREA AND FOUND ONLY ONE THAT MOVES RATHER FAST, SO THIS BRIGHT LIGHT DOES NOT MOVES IT IS STATIONARY. ACTUALLY QUITE PRETTY.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116281). 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.
