Other over Lincoln, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a very dark night, we had just turned south on to Highway 14 from X Road and approximately 2-3 miles down the road the driver said "look at that ufo in the sky". I saw numerous (what I think were 5 or 6 at minimum) large bright orange lights with what seemed to be bright LED like what "long" connecting lights. It was a pattern similar to a triangle or pyramid or similar and it was LARGE. We were all immediately talking at once and everyone saying "what is that" etc. I watched for possibly approximately 60 seconds as were ascending a large hill. I thought and it "appeared" as if once we came to the top of the hill I could see it better, but when we crested the hill it was completely gone. Literally within seconds. We could see for miles and miles from the top of this hill and there was NO sign of anything in any direction we had just seen.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136969). 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.
