Disk over Creston, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At about 7:00 AM, a round disc of light appeared in the sky below the clouds. After about 15 seconds of hovering, it went back up above the clouds slowly dimming as the clouds around it got thicker and as it got higher. The light it generated was white. From my perspective, it was about quarter inch in diameter, which could mean it was actually 100 feet wide in diameter from that distance. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
