Light over Newberry, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the Lake Superior bluff looking east over the lake 17 miles west of Whitefish point, there is a very long string of 11 red lights at horizon level. They are stationary flashing red two seconds then off two seconds. detached from the line further north is red light with a flashing white light. This is positioned just north of the entrance to Whitefish bay. The line is approximately the length of three or four 1000 ft cargo ships. I have been up here for forty five years, seen numerous ships out on the lake, but just sitting there like this not moving for over 45 minutes They are approximately 17 to twenty miles from my vantage. Binoculars showed no outline of ships.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137032). 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.

Newberry, MI
We were out of town just hanging out in the North country trail and Newberry was the closest place to us. We all had a couple of beers but we all were sober enough to know what we saw. Even our DD saw it. It got super quiet, everything almost stopped, even time. We all were very disoriented and felt a little sick. Put of nowhere, we saw what we could only identify as a fireball like object. It flew in a strange pattern, and didn't act like a fireball. What felt like 4 minuted was actually hours, time didn’t feel real. A moment of silence took over us, trying to come up with plausible reasons of what this could be. We came up with nothing, it was our DD who decided to look up different possibilities and the internet lead us to you. It seems like the right path, we can only hope telling our story will help us learn and come to terms with what we saw.
