Unknown over Creston, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 0400 on June 13, 2016, I awoke to look out my north facing window to see a very unusual bright light to the NNE of my home. The object was fixed in the sky, and I could not determine the distance from my home. It appeared above the mountains. Using binoculars I could determine that the object was displaying three different color lights, red, white and green. The object stayed in a fixed position until the clouds obscured it, and later when the clouds were gone, it was daylight. I was concerned that this might just be a star, or something, so this morning, I awoke at the same time to observe the sky in the same position. The object was not there.

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.
