Unknown over El Dorado, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A friend and I were headed north on Highway 254 towards El Dorado, when I had seen an orange and a white light that looked odd. I looked back at the road and up again and they were gone. Shrugged it off as a plane, but I still had went to the extent off calling my husband about it. About 5 min later I seen them again, this time there was three. A tiny white sparkle of light a orange light slightly bigger and another orange light a few times the size of the other all hovering together but they were all jumping around each other for a good 30 seconds and one by one they zipped off.

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 have seen 50+ ufos they were in formation one after another not very far apart. The background was very clear with no light pollution. The objects seemed to be small lights but very visible in the night sky. The objects had no sound so they had to be at a very high altitude. They were coming of the north headed south bound in El Dorado, Kansas, at the El Dorado Lake State Park.
