Light over Fosston, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving on a dirt road at 10pm and I see this green light in the sky, maybe about 70 feet in front of me and about 30 feet in the air. It went up, then down, and then after a few seconds, I saw the light just move slowly, then it vanishes, nothing in sight. We attempted to contact the source of the report, in order to confirm the date, and were greeted by a string of profanity. Hoax? 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.
