Triangle over Clinton, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was sitting on the front porch when I noticed an object moving slowly moving from the southeast going northwest. At first thought it was a plane but as it came closer noticed it didn’t look like a plan at all but a large black triangle. The object flew almost directly above my house.There were dull orange lights surrounding its perimeter, one blue, no blinking lights. It made a low hum but no other noises. Probably about 500-1000 ft above, it was hard to tell. The object appeared to be very large, but again hard to judge. The craft was dark, blotting out the stars. The time was 10pm almost exactly. The whole experience lasted about 30 seconds
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122643). 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.
