Light over North Ogden, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a white light that was stationary. It was a bright white light that would appear to dim as if it was pointing in another direction. The light stayed in the same spot but at times appeared to be rotating to the left and right and sometimes rotating in a circle. It reminded me of the tower lights at the airport. It was a clear night no clouds in the sky and the moon was out and was not overly bright. There were no aircraft in the sky nor were there any other noises. I watched this for aprox 2 hours and the light just disappeared. I did call the non emergency number for police dispatch and all they said was the deputies were aware of the light on Ben Lomond Peak. This peak does not have any sort of light tower on it. I was too far away to make out anything other than the bright white light. Possible sighting of a star or planet, we suspect. 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.

North Ogden, UT
I was looking at the sky to the east over the Rocky Mountains here in Ogden, when I noticed a circle appear and move very quickly in an arched movement until out of sight. It was a very bright and intense Teal color against the black night sky. It was a larger circle surrounded by 5 or 6 smaller circles that made the stars look like small pin points in the sky. It lasted only 3 or 4 seconds. Possibly a meteor?? PD
