Other over Santa Clara, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sometime between 9pm and 11 o'clock pm, I saw this semi close or low to the ground un-identified flying object. The UFO was silent and had three dim lights in a straight row. Visually it appeared about the size of a dime or nickel making this my first and closest appearance. I know it wasn't a plane as it's proximity to the ground would have been audible. It seemed to cloak rather than speed off. It went dark in a area of clear sky well below any horizon. Not a satellite. My explanation for this is usually a reflection from the moving horizon sun on a satellite. I can't use this excuse here. Too cold outside to be reasonably a drone user. Too high as well. It was 52 degrees outside. It had rained that morning with thunder and lightning.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131435). 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.
