Light over Weippe, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three red blinking lights were first observed in a straight line from right to left.. In front of them were three bright white lights in the same exact distance and pattern from the red ones.. Object(s) were moving from west to east and flying towards me.. Unable to judge height or distance in the air as it was dark with a few stars showing but being over the town the building lights were making it harder to see. The object(s) were moving slowly towards me and off to my left. I called over a local official who was across the street and he witnessed them as well and was not able to identify them either. We then watched them change pattern and closed formation and moved more towards the south.. After about 2 minutes they again changed pattern to where they were flying end to end (white/ red, white/red and white/red) and began moving in a easterly direction again. We observed them for about another 2 minutes until they moved out of our view. The official then g! ot into his vehicle and followed them. Unknown what he found after that. These object(s) were in a square, diamond, and rectangle and then in a straight line pattern while maintaining the uniformity in all patterns… Also noted was there was absolutely no sound. No pictures were taken but 5 sketches have been drawn as best as I can remember. Weather: about 28 degrees, clear skies with some stars, some light haze at first when noticed the object then it moved into clearer skies.

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.
