Flash over Twin Falls, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting outside my house in my friends car just talking and I just randomly happened to glance up toward the horizon and as I did I noticed an orb emitting a very bright solid orange light encasing the entire craft. It was just floating in place not making any advancemt in any direction. I know this was not a star in the sky because it was a very windy and cloudy night and you could see the clouds moving behind it plus stars don't sit that low on the horizon to begin with. I starred at the object with my two friends for what seemed like only a few minutes and as though it noticed us watching it, it literally de-materialized and then instantly re-materialized about 250-500 yards to the left of its original position. It floated there for a few more seconds and then literally faded into the darkness as though the craft was dimming down the external lights of the craft like you would with the light dimmer in your living room. Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

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.

One ufo stayed still for hours after half an hour of spotting it something shot out yet the first object remained still continuing to flash brighter than any star after that nothing happened but I went to look back at it and the object was just gone no trace or trail it appeared to blink different colors violently and rapidly while I sat still in the sky. When I tried to take a photo or video it was on screen for a brief second then disappeared completely yet I could still look in the sky and see it. Sorry if this didn't help just figured this information could be useful.

Around 4:30 AM I stood at my kitchen window looking to the north west sky and observed what appeared to be an airplane heading toward twin falls Idaho. Odd thing was the object was stationary with a spread of lights of multi color.v It was wide and had multi colored lights. It looked to be hovering in the distance. I went outside to be sure of what I was seeing and sure enough it was. After a few minutes I realized it was moving very slowly to the East. I woke my son and he observed it in the distance as well. To rule it out as being a star I observed it continue to slowly move while the background stars remained stationary. I continued to observe as the object slowly moved East until I lost sight of it. It was clearly some typ of craft illuminated.

My mother, sister and i was on our way home from Twin Falls that night to head back to Heyburn, Idaho. We then noticed a circle like object hovering about 100 feet off of the ground. It had red and white lights around it and when we drove under it, it had gotten closer to our car. It wouldn't move it was just hovering over us.

Similar to many other posts here, there was a light formation in a diagonal line. Each orb would light up in an ascending pattern and then blink out in order that it lit. I have filed other reports similar to this that I have seen in the past, however this time we were able to get a photo.

White bright strobe light flashed every 2 sec. when traveling south on hiway 93 toward Jackpot NV. Saw the exact same thing Apr 14, 2019 (previously reported) in same area when going north on hiway 93 from Jackpot NV and Twin Falls. Maintained speed of the truck and moved from one side of the truck to the other. Vehicle traffic going both ways. The light was beside the car in front of me for part of the time. Eventually faded away behind me.

I am an educated female of 57 years old who often takes in the happenings of the sky and on 5/8/19 around 8:45pm; I endeavored to take a few shots of what was an aurora-like sunset (towards the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, ID, Latitude 42.562786, Longitude 114.460503) and after returning to the shop where I work to take a better look at the pictures I noticed a bright green oval-like object in the upper center top part of the image. I went back out to the same POV and zoomed in on same subject of clouds and tree framed in the earlier shot and was unable to see the same green object. We haven't seen the photo, but we suspect that the green thing may be a lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. PD
