Formation over Columbus, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hovering over the night sky in Columbus, Michigan. My mother and I were driving to the gas station, when we saw a formation of three bright green orbs in the sky, lined up perfectly diagnally, hovering about a mile in the air. The formation seemed to get brighter and dimmer before it suddenly disappeared. There were a few planes flying towards it, before it disappeared in the night sky. Pictures were taken and are available upon request.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117553). 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.
