Light over Ronan, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked to the east and saw a bright light. My husband and I thought it was a star but realized there was nothing that should be that bright in the sky. We watched it for a little while then we looked away. My husband thought that it was getting brighter. About 3 minuets later I looked back up and caught it fade to nothing. We are not sure if something spectacular happened in space or what. Sighting of Venus?? 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.
