Light over Center Line, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While closing up for the night, I was in the backyard and I happened to look up at the stars. They were very bright and luminous. Just then, while gazing at the stars, 6 or 7 bright objects began to appear and swarm around eachother slightly above to the west. They began moving in an erratic pattern to the east, juggling and swarming among each other. They finally faded into the starry background out of view, toward the east side of the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131867). 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.
