Other over Star, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The aircraft were seen near Can-Ada and Lanktree Gulch, in Star, Idaho. I first saw the aircraft watching television upstairs. It circled multiple times, disappearing over the horizon, only to appear in about 20 seconds again, and then it continuing to circle and disappear again. It moved from a circular pattern from the left, only to wobble to the right and appear left again. I went outside and alerted my father, and we both went to get a look. It circled for about a dozen times before disappearing over the horizon for the last time. We could see in the distance another green and white flashing dot with the same lights as the plane flying near us in the distance further west from Can-Ada and Lanktree. They were definitely planes, propeller and single winged. They seemed to be flying anywhere from 400-500 feet high. The planes seemed to be flying at a strange time; it was almost completely dark outside, and they were flying much lower than any aircraft, helicopter or plane I have seen before. It would be great to know if anyone else has seen them and knows what their purpose is.

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 sitting outside in our backyard, my wife noticed something high in the sky and asked me if it was a drone. I looked toward Northwest to see a glimmering light high above our backyard slowly moving toward the North. The object looked metallic and made no noise. I pulled out my phone and began to take photos to see if I could zoom in for a better look. After reviewing the Live Photo’s, I was surprised to see it as a shining metal disc reflecting the sun. I was expecting a drone but after review it had me scratching my head. I saved the photos in hope someone else witnessed the same event.

Seen what appeared to be a long moving white cloud in the night sky. It was moving across the sky slowly. No Sound. We grabbed some binoculars. Through the binoculars you could see that it was a saucer with lights in the middle of the craft and the entire craft was spinning. It when from north west and continued to the north east before I could not longer see it. I tried to get video but it did not turn out. There where four of us that seen this.

35 evenly spaced white lights coming from Nampa to the right of the moon and Venus moving very quickly toward Boise. One broke formation to fly next to another and then quickly went back to formation. Five minutes later two more came from the same direction evenly spaced and then flew close then even again and zoomed off.

At approx 8:30pm, there were about 15 lights in the sky that formed a upside down cresent shape with a few scattered lights out of formation. They did not move at all one only lasted about 20 seconds before they faded out and were gone. We posted on a Nextdoor neighborhood website to see if anyone else saw lights and another family witnessed them as well.
