Circle over Byron, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing outside. Noticed a red/orange glowing ball moving north towards me. Wasn't a plane. I kept watching trying to figure out what it was. When that ine passed over the trees another came from the south and when that one passed over the trees, one more was behind it. They were following each other in a straight line.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120256). 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.
