Circle over Athol, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Appeared in clear sky. Were round and orange globes. The first three drifted off one at a time in to the clouds and two more appeared at different times. The first three hovered, but the last two went slow across the sky and the very last one meandered slowly across the sky and then went quickly in to the sky. Three security guards witnessed the fifth aircraft. The first four were witnessed by a former police officer, and the fifth was witnessed by two former police officers and a Marine.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136630). 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.
