Circle over Elko New Market, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I snuck out of the house with my two other friends on September 9th, and ended up seeing something really weird in the sky. We tried to debunk it and find an explanation but we couldn't. I took two photos of it, it was like a ring of lights in the sky that never moved but eventually just disappeared. We suspect advertising lights from a casino. 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.
