Light over Crescent, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 8:05 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, 2 of us saw a bright white light slowly going across the night sky. The white light was not blinking and had a red light behind it, which also was not blinking. We were looking to the south and we spotted it about half way across the sky going from West to East. After almost reaching across the sky, the light dimmed and then disappeared out of the sky. It did not go past the horizon, it disappeared completely in the air. Wondering if maybe it is just a satellite… or something else. International Space Station overflight. PD

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.
