Flash over Eden, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
10 miles north of Eden, on the night of December 21, or specifically 3 am on Dec. 22, 2016; two very large green tinted flashes occurred in the eastern horizon and large scale in nature...approximately 5 to 10 miles wide. It lighted up the eastern horizon and I tried to video it. I was working in the desert all night for two nights on a scientific study. I watched intently and it again occurred at 6 am. The next day when I was listening to the radio station 98 FM The Snake, they announced that other people had witnessed this too. I don't know if it was a UFO, but it was the closest thing I've ever seen to something related to UFO's...it was really amazing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132943). 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.
