Flash over Bagley, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was little light pollution and it was a very dark night. We had been seeing strange moving lights and then on June 8th 2017 we noticed a very bright flashing light that had no regular pattern. There had never been any tower or anything in that area where we observed the light. It changed in intensity and color also. This light was visible for again on the following night. It seemed to move closer and side to side up and down and further away also. We took video each night. We lost our google account password where the video of the object was stored and recently regained access to it. It was visible for several hours both nights and never again. The light was so bright at times it almost blinded a person to look at it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175419). 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.
