Light over Elko, NV

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

After a few minutes, the lights just kind of faded out. I don't believe it to be a normal aircraft because the area is very mountainous and the lights were too low for a normal plane to fly

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143342). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Elko, NV

We were headed I-80W toward Carlin and right before tunnels we seen what appeared to be a star high up in the sky (I thought at first) that would get really bright then dim out and bright again. It did this 3 or 4 times then right next to it another light lit up. This one also was very bright that changed colors. Then after maybe 10 seconds the two lights merged together and disappeared.
