Oval over Centerville, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving on I-15 tonight my wife and I saw a dim orange light over Centerville/Farmington Utah - no flashing or blinking lights visible, and fairly large in the sky. Initially thought it was an airplane, or helicopter. Exited the freeway and rolled down the car window to listen, but there was no sound coming from the craft. Pulled in to a parking lot to watch, and lost sight of it. Once parked, I exited my vehicle. The object was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131005). 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.

My sons and I pulled up to our home at 9:07 pm the night of Sep 10, and upon vacating our car I immediately saw the 20 or so lights in the sky maybe a few thousand feet or so? slowly flying north to south, each with various flight paths, each gradually ascending to disappearance within 10 minutes or so. Shapes were disk-like and appeared illuminated from within. Did not hear any motors similar to drones. I did see an airplane fly very close to/through the cluster. I do not believe they were drones but could have been I guess. We live fairly close to Hill AFB.

My best friend and I were hot-tubbing around 10:30pm (22:30) and were having a great time. It was a crystal clear sky that night, and I was admiring the stars. I noticed something fly above us, its hard to say exactly how high up, but I'd guess 5 stories up. It was some sort of object flying silently above us, and honestly my friend and I thought it was a bat at first, however I noticed 3 lights on it. She did not believe me, and dismissed it as a bat. I just agreed with her, until, it flew back over us for a second time, a bit closer. You could clearly see the triangle object, it looked the size of a small car. You couldn't make out details, but there were three lights in a triangle pattern. We got out of the hot tub and walked around watching it for a while, it was flying fairly evenly, but would occasionally hover. At one point, a dog noticed and started barking like crazy! A minute after that it floated off out of sight, towards Farmington. It was a very! neat experience, I've seen a few other UFOs in my life, and this was probably the second coolest I've experienced. Have a good day everyone. :) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she confirmed that the sighting occurred on the date indicated above, and not on a date in 2016. PD
