Light over Emmett, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sighted off the highway over the hills between Gem and Ada County. First appeared as a diamond of light, but upon getting closer, looked to be spherical with lights along the side. It just hovered there. The radio station went fuzzy for a moment as our car passed it, and then all was normal. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125973). 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.

While driving eastbound on 52, I saw a green light that appeared to head up the hill to the north, opposite the direction of the highway. After a few seconds of the light being solid green, it turned solid red then disappeared.

I was at my Grandmothers house having some fun outside with my brother, we had a coyote caller and we were screwing around with them... if you hit the right pitch the would howl back anyways he went to use it one more time and he didn't hit the pitch right, he and I were waiting to see if we would get a response. He then pointed in the sky and said look, there was tree lights that were like a very light yellow white-ish color, in a triangle formation, they started to move closer and closer together... about a few seconds after they got pretty close they shot up and disappeared, about 15 minutes after my brother and i went inside with terrible headaches and nausea. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

While walking with my girl ((name deleted)) on montour rd in Emmett, Idaho, we both at the same saw plain as day something that looked and most of all moved like nothing we know of in the world. It was low enough to the ground so it came into our view as it moved from behind the small butte down the street. This was close, as it moved from our right to left across the edge of the horizon. On its path it stopped and wobbled a bit then back tracked for a short length till it continued. The color was white when going but red when it stopped or backing up. We lost site of it as it went behind another hill across from the butte. So much more but can't text all that i have to tell.
