Triangle over Dubuque, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Every evening this month for 2 hours approx. 6-8pm a stationary bright white lighted triangle? shaped object hangs in the western sky in about the same place. Lights not twinkling or flashing ever. When it leaves it's like it backs away deeper into the west because you don't see any movement except that it gets smaller and then it is gone in the dark sky. May have an antenna of sorts (On object or possibly a tail if you will?) that is not constantly visible perhaps with the cloud cover. Noticed and have watched this every night in February-may have been there before.(?) Sometimes, it is there a little earlier and leaves a little later. Pretty well sits in the same place. Never have seen it when it "arrives to possibly see movement or details about it". Very interesting-wish I would see it from the start! Or even much closer! I would very much like to know what it is! Please E-mail a response to my E-mail below. I really would like to know your perception/knowledge of this! Thank You!

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.

Went outside on my work break. Went to take a picture of the lights of the city and saw this thing on the upper left. It was gone after I took the picture. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Dubuque, IA
On September 3, 2020, we noticed formations of what appeared to be 50+ round shiny objects that illuminated and dimmed randomly in the sky. Some would disappear while others maintained some kind of formation. We didn’t think much of it until we saw the TV series Skinwalker Ranch in which similar things were seen in the sky. The formation would change shape to a message-like arrangement (as seen in the video), then to clusters and then into a donut-like shape with a clearing in the middle. This phenomenon lasted 10-15 minutes. It would disappear all together and then reappear at different places in the sky not far from the original place they disappeared from. As the formation was going on in the sky there was also a bright flash of light that appeared for only a split second. We were watching for several minutes and had witnessed so many unusual things in the sky that we didn’t know what to expect next. Then we saw the unidentified formation of objects form a ball-like cluster and then slowly fly away from us completely horizontal in the sky until they disappeared all together. We would love to know if these objects can be explained! We can’t understand what we saw!

February 1, 2017 was driving west, alone across Julien Dubuque bridge. (Between Iowa and Ill.) When looking up, I saw a disk shaped craft come out of the blue sky, It made a half circle loop, then disappeared back into the depths of the sky, leaving a dark blue rippling effect, as it vanished.

Travelling horizontally low to the ground, not much above the traffic lights, too fast to be a jet. As quickly as I called my companions attention to it, it blinked 3 times and vanished. Brilliantly clear night sky with full moon.

Standing, facing due East from the front of the house we noticed a GIANT triangular craft floating silently above the house moving West to East. I live on the top of a bluff overlooking the Mississippi Valley and we have seen many and varied types of craft. This craft was floating maybe 1000 yards or so above the area. please see accompanying video Peter...i hope it's of a quafile:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/video-1470097628.mp4lity U can use and archive.
