Unknown over Montpelier, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Late afternoon an object was sighted overhead that barely moved for the half hour we were paying attention to it. Without binoculars we could not make out more than it was a light color, probably grey. It moved so slowly that it is difficult to know if it actually hovered for a while or not.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118294). 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.

At approximately 10 pm on June 22, 2014, I saw what appeared to be a star - (I thought it was venus for a moment) The star was moving extremely fast across the sky; way too fast to be an aircraft. At the speed it was traveling, It was extremely quiet. We grabbed the binoculars and It appeared to be an asteroid. He noticed that the object (traveling from the west to the east ) suddenly turned south east direction. There was no sound at all coming from the object. The light very quickly grew dimmer and awe saw 3 aircraft behind the first object. Two had flashing green and red lights and the other had amber lights flashing. They appeared to be chasing the first object. None of the aircrafts we witnessed produced any sounds. The first lighted object was incredibly fast and was almost instantly (within 15 seconds) gone from view.
