Circle over Allendale, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At about 11:30 at night I was outside trying to see the Northern Lights with friend of mine. While we were staring up at the sky, I noticed a small circle moving around with a weird light aura around it in weird pattern. After about 5 minutes of watching it move through the sky it emitted about 2 other objects. These objects moved around in sync with the main one I first saw. They would then go back into the first one and then they would be emitted again and come back around 5 minutes later.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133343). 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.

Bright white light, (brightest by far, like phone flashlight) first seen straight overhead in black skies. Could see all stars planes and satellites clearly. Light was airplane height. It literally sashayed left and right like someone was paddling a canoe. I pointed it out to everyone. 2 of us saw it clearly. A 3rd saw it just as it turned off. It turned off just before passing under? an airplane. "Sashay" was slight but noticeable with a pause between each forward motion.

I took video of an aircraft flying low. It is circular/ oval with blinking white lights that flash at random intervals, both at the same time so its completely dark. It stays dark for different amounts of time and has no rhythm to the blinks. I've seen it on 3 seperate nights, same place. It appears silver and flys in zig zags, up, down and backward. It flew over a cell tower and the tower lights got dim until it passed. It doesnt have sound.
