Light over Knox, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While standing outside, I witnessed a red light in the western sky. I thought at first that it was a plane heading towards me because it didn't seem to move. As I waited for it to come closer, I realized that it was going directly up. I thought at that point that it may have been a firework heading up before exploding. That didn't happen. It continued to go up into the sky until it disappeared. As I told my family what I saw, we witnessed another one in the northern sky traveling east. It disappeared as well.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134901). 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.

Was walking my dogs. Probably 48 degrees F. Not a sound except crickets. Out in the country near massive solar fields. Held my arm up to capture top of cornfield with fog and took the picture. Got home and noticed a black ‘dot’ on photo from I-phone. The image was a ‘live’ image so I touched the screen to see if I could tell what the black dot was and surprised to see how fast it moved across the screen. Super,super fast. No sound.

The fist and second cigars gradually became too distant to see. Then looking east again, a third cigar appeared. It was also heading west, then suddenly it changed direction in a looping fashion so fast it had a trail of light. It quickly disappeared to the east. All three cigars seemed to be about 3000 feet altitude and a quarter mile north of me and moved too slow to be fixed wing craft. I hesitated to file report until I read other similar reports recently. I am a retired auto mechanic and dont necessarily think these were aliens. Just something I have no explanation for.

We witnessed 3 red lights in the northwestern sky, seemingly motionless and equally spaced apart. They seemed to be too low to be a plane/planes. By the time I was able to grab my husband's phone, one had disappeared. I jumped out of the car with my phone and only one remained. I was able to follow the last one traveling to the west until it disappeared.
