Light over Santa Fe (on ranch), CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was looking at the stars and saw a moving light that looked like a star, thought it might be a satellite! But light was moving from left to right and making s-shaped movement and turn and appeared to cover great distances. Light then looked like it was getting farther away and eventually became to faint to see, went straight up out of site.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125855). 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.
