A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Thought it was just a bright star or plane, but it was flashing red and green lights, and it did not move. Got binoculars and could see 5 "windows," or lights, in row along the shape horizontally, middle one brightest white light. Watched for twenty minutes, tried photo, but camera wasn't catching the light at that distance in the dark. It did not seem to move but dimmed like it had gained distance. Clear starry night. Checked star placement with iPad and none matched for the location. Possible sighting of Sirius? Sirius would be in the southern sky at the time, and on the date, indicated by the witness. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126056). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Was hunting with my brother. I was looking through the binoculars, trying to see where he was on the ridge. I saw movement above the timber line. I focused on it. It was an eye shaped craft of white or silver color. I couldn't really tell, since the sun was shining on it. It hovered for a few minutes and then was wobbling like it was having a hard time holding its location. Then it moved behind the timber. It was not a plane or helicopter. No wings or tail. No windows or anything. I got a very clear look at it. Was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. It was also very large. Bigger than an airplane.
