Circle over Oak Grove, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were out enjoying the birds and the river early this morning and saw a very bright white light in the sky to the southeast. After grabbing the binoculars we were able to see that it appeared to be a round or oval shape which had lights around it. I did take several pictures and when you enlarge them you can see a faint light in the sky. It did not move during the 45 minutes to one hour, we observed it and was still there when we left to come in. We have not seen that light before today. Possibly a star or Venus?? 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.
