Triangle over Ridgway, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My girlfriend and I witnessed a triangular shaped object with very bright cylindrical shaped lights at the corners. It was stationary and remained to the east of our local mountain (Mt. Sneffels) for about 15 minutes, before moving off to the southeast, and then out of site. Not sure what it was, but was most definitely not a star or planet. Did anyone else from my area see the same thing?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130072). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
