Unknown over Fremont, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving home on hwy 96 west I saw a red light appear in the sky about 20 degrees above the horizon. The light was moving right to left, toward the south. It brightened and began to slowly fade. But before it faded out, another, separate red light appeared to the left(south) of the first along the same line the first light was moving towards. The first light then faded. The second light brightened and began to fade, while moving along the same path as the first. But again, before the second light faded completely, another red light appeared to the south. This sequence happened five or six times. Then, the lights just disappeared. I asked the other person in the car if they were seeing this and they said yes. They described it exactly as I had seen it. The sky was slight overcast with a full moon rising behind us. Orion was visible through the the high overcast. The only other light I saw was five miles down the road when I saw a white light come on and go off, then a quick flash of a white light. This was in the same quadrant of sky.

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.

Let dogs out at 5a. Looked up at stars (facing east) and saw three bright white lights traveling at exact same speed heading south. They were equidistant from each other the entire time, no sound, constant bright light. Appeared to be at height of a jet. They moved very fast.

Was driving west on US 10. I saw 3 lights in the sky west of me. I woke my wife up to see, as well. They disappeared by vanishing from outside to inside, then reappeared to the north a short distance away by spreading out. Now there were 5 lights. This happened a few more times with the lights moving north each time. The hair on my arms was standing up after; strangest thing I have ever seen.

3 bright orbs at sunset looking west while driving HWY 10, east aprox. 5 miles from Fremont. Appearing in one position in the sky to disappear and reappear as soon as it disappeared in a different location. One orb disappearing at a time. One by one all orbs were gone. Duration of 6-9 seconds. Once I arrived home in Stevens Point, I told my roommate of experience and he had same experience looking southward except he saw the lights at two different occasions in the same area of the sky around exactly the time I had. Based on where we both saw the lights a triangulation to where we were and where we saw the lights puts them over the Plainfield/Almond area.
