Triangle over Eagle Lake, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my way to Mankato to pick my fiancé up from work, when I spotted in the sky a orange lit figure shaped like a triangle. I pulled over to the side of the street to see if I could get a pic, but by the time I got out of the jeep, it was gone. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that his report is a sincere attempt on his part to describe what he had seen. 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.
