Chevron over West Union, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself my wife and a friend stepped outside. While out in front of the house no more than a few minutes later we noticed 8 orange glowing boomerang chevron shapes moving across the sky traveling south to north. Weird part was they were flying in a birds V pattern and then switched position so that 6 were in a line with 2 side by side in front.they were moving at a decent rate of speed. Moments later we stepped out again and had just caught 4 more in a straight line traveling west to east.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132598). 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.
