Triangle over Hatfield, WI

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Hello, I would like to report a sighting of a flying object that was witnessed by 6 people on the night of June 22, 2015. Two of the persons who witnessed this are former military veterans, with 18 years of service between them. When I asked them what they thought it was, they could not identify the object. The UFO was flying from the south heading north. It was a triangular shape of gold to light yellow light and it had three black dots that were at the back of the light shape. As it traveled across the sky it became hazy and turned into a cloud. It was by far the strangest thing I have ever seen in the night sky. From the time that I first saw the object to when it changed to a cloud was about 20 seconds. It seemed longer, but in reality it was not very long at all. Then we watched the “cloud” move out of our view for about another 15 seconds. It never entered my mind to try and video record it because we were all staring at it trying to figure out what it was. My conclusion is a flying object with some kind of cloud cloaking device? The time was between 1030 and 11pm. One of the reasons I noticed this object is because I was looking up at the sky as the first part of the aurora borealis started. This object did not move in any way, shape or form like the lights that were from the aurora borealis. This sighting happened at Lake Arbutus, WI. I did this little sketch to give you an idea of what I saw before it turned into a cloud. And this is about the same size that it looked like up in the sky. Thanks so much. and I was not drinking....

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.
