Formation over Stering Heights, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were having a bonfire in the city of Sterling Heights. I happened to look up. I saw 5 yellow lights flying in perfect formation. Sort of a half diamond. It flew straight and true, made no noise at all, then disappeared instantly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130190). 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.
