Light over La Veta, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In the western sky.There was a cloud bank that was approaching fast. Above the cloud mass was a huge light. The light reflected off the cloud edges. I have seen approaching jets/airplanes with approach lights. There was a single light. The light suddenly went out. The cloud passed overhead. I saw no contrails . This light and cloud came from over La Veta Pass so it was very high in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131788). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

I went out in the evening to take my dogs out. In the sky to the east, there were 3 large yellowish lights, then three more appeared right behind them, for a total of 6. The first three lights disappeared one by one from left to right, then the last tree disappeared simoutaniously. It was dark, so all I saw was lights, nothing else.
