Other over Davenport, ND
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Family of 5 saw many questionable shooting stars going in all directions north to south, south to north, east to south, west to east, lost track after 17. At least 3 of said objects had comet like tails. One light northeast of us did a u-turn. We also saw 4 distant objects that hovered then would cross the sky at such an amazing speed, that best described by our eldest teen bested the Blue Angels, and disappear among the stars. One of the comet-tailed light seen appeared to be 3 lights clustered. After 75 minutes we realized our 9 year old was no longer comfortable and quite overwhelmed, and had to stop so not certain the activity stopped.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121090). 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.
