Light over American Fork, UT

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

The report, as filed

Laying on the trampoline with my nephew, when we seen a large orange object flash and stay lit for about two seconds then disappear. As soon as it did, a smaller one did the same thing right next to where the big one was. When that disappeared, the same size orange ball appeared several miles away to the left. We waited for quite some time trying to figure out what they were, when I seen a craft (almost looked like a stork) start from one spot and fly to the south extremely fast and disappear leaving almost a contrail that didn't last for a few seconds. The craft was about 200 ft up from us. We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. We are awaiting confirmation of the time from the witness. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120903). 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.

American Fork, UT

While sitting outside on the patio we noticed clusters of light passing us overhead. They were in a V-Formation, like the way that birds travel. However, the objects emit light independently. The objects flew overhead individually as a single craft, but sometimes in pairs or even groups of three. At one point two of these formations separated when an airplane passed it. The objects also varied in size and the altitude at which they traveled. Not sure what to make of it. Upon research the lights resemble that of the “Lubbock Lights”.
