Changing over Washington County ((city unspecified)), CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Husband, wife, adult daughter and two teen children witnessed eight circular ufos. They were not in any formation that we could recognize. The few on either side of the grouping remained still while the three center ones, which were vertical, seemed to slowly shift. The one in the center of all, changed from circular to cigar. After changing, they all faded away one at a time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142788). 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.
