Circle over Jasper, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my balcony smoking and was looking up for shooting stars and looked up over my house to the southwest and saw at least 15 flying discs that each had a bright orange light. My jaw dropped and I saw that they were flying in a V formation with some coming backwards from the apex of the V and curved around to the right making what looked like a tail off the right side of the V formation. They were gliding through the air effortlessly with no sound. They headed southwest in the sky and traveled out of my line of sight. It was truly amazing to witness and it was very beautiful and majestic.

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.

I observed what I thought was a damaged aircraft as it made no noise. It had two dim white lights. I estimate the attitude to be between 5-8 thousand feet. It was headed southeast at about 100 degrees heading. Two fighters pursuing about 2 minutes behind. Another set of fighters followed at 2 minutes behind the lead fighters.
