Unknown over Arches National Park, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
at sunset on October 19, I took the last pictures before leaving the park, later when we observed the photographs with my wife, we noticed a white dot that appears in the whole series of photographs, enlarging the image with the zoom you can see an object with an oval, triangular shape and in some photos with a cylindrical shape, compare the photos with those in which airplanes appear, but the shape and the vapor trail left by the airplanes are totally different, perhaps you could better identify them the object in question. Three photos indicate a tiny, white dot, of unknown origin. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143831). 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.

I filmed a white comet shaped object moving very slowly in the sky. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen one. I also filmed 2 at the same time on 9/4/2022 at 8:10 pm over I-80 in Nebraska. They were a bright white light with a short tail, the end of which flickered like a flame. They appeared as though they should be moving extremely fast but we’re moving very slowly. Like a barely moving comet. There were not lights on the object. The object looked like light itself. Kinda like a white fiery comet but moved slower than a helicopter and in a straight line. I have the videos but don’t agree to give away the rights, so I won’t be attaching them at this time. I’m attaching just a picture from one of the videos, for reference. I’m hoping you know what it is and can tell me.

Dancing light; flashes of light; one extremely bright spotlight.
