Light over Reno/Sun Valley, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
To the west of Sun Valley, there was one very large bright white light, and two smaller bluish-green light and red lights toward the bottom right of the white light. They were extremely high in the sky (from my perspective). At one point while I was watching I also noticed a red light high above the large white light, like the smaller ones below. They never moved for at least 30 minutes. I was on the phone with my daughter, who was on the Reno side, about 10 miles to the west of me, and she was seeing the exact same thing. But she said she was closer to being underneath them. I went into the house for a short time, and when I came back out they were gone.

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.
