Unknown over Glendive, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing outside and looked up to see one craft slowly moving upwards, then jutting to the side. I watched for about 3 minutes, when I noticed another object moving. I thought it might have been a helicopter, but realized quickly that the lights would have been strobing a lot faster. It proceded to move around at a slow speed, before jutting upwards and for about 30 seconds it was a solid white light this happens every night almost if not 1 craft, but 2 they usually do the same things

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.

Within minutes we saw 3 more lights. They were also orange and appeared to be flying in a triangle type formation. One was in the lead and 2 were following. I started videoing them with my cellphone. They also appeared to travel north to south before disappearing. We observed them for approximately 5 minutes. The final one (we saw 5 total) lasted about 30 seconds and was also orange in color. It also travelled north to south, then veered sharply west before disappearing. My initial reaction to the first one was it was a helicopter or drone. Then I thought maybe the lights we saw were chinese lanterns. It should also be noted that our cellphone batteries drained approximately 20% during this encounter which lasted approximately 15 minutes total. I am prior military and law enforcement officer and have never seen lights like these before. There is an anomaly in the video that is a white light that dances around. That is what I assume is glare from the streetlight.
