A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Star shape very bright light in northwest sky above trees at 2:00 am no features could be made out. It just hovered above the trees for an hour and then moved behind the trees were I could not see it any longer. I looked through my binoculars but could not make out any features. This is the second time I seen a bright light out of my bedroom window. Possible star?? PD

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.
