A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 1245 am, I saw 4 what I call disco balls or 4 diamond shape lights Wich send a combo of blue and red light through the sky They appear to be stars but are not even close. Once You look through binoculars or scope You will see the differenc. I looked to the south and noticed a different looking object it flew in a strange pattern it was long tube shaped and flew as if was standing upright with no concern for aerodynamic discipline. I Have seen nothing like this ever. Very strange to say the least.

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.
