Changing over Heber City Canyon, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friend and I were driving through the very beginning of Provo Canyon, barely out of Heber Valley, when all of a sudden traffic was at a standstill. We looked up and saw a large group of golden colored lights that started in the shape of a UFO but broke apart into a group of about 10-12 lights with long streaming trails behind them that's took on a V shaped formation. They were moving very slowly and steadily, in a horizontal manner across the sky. This was then followed by a circular green light that appeared to be ushering them along. The entrie thing lasted about three to four minutes. Then all at once the objects didn't fade but just completely disappeared all at once. The whole highway was at a standstill watching and we took a video on my phone, which we watched save, but when we went back to look at and it had been completely deleted. Witness indicates incorrect date, which we have corrected above. The correct date of the sighting was July 27, 2016. NUFORC, in error, reported this incident on Coast to Coast AM on the night of July 29th, believing it to be a legitimate sighting of an authentic UFO. We apologize for the error, and will correct the error at our next appearance on radio. PD

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.
