Circle over Windom, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One round gold color round shaped light appeared in the sky, one second later a 2nd round light identical in appearance appeared, another second later a 3rd identical one appeared all lined up in a perfect horizontal line and evenly spaced. As soon as the 3rd light appeared they were gone. We never saw any movement. This was out in the country and no other lights around, no obstructions. Was a very clear night and they were about plane height in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144504). 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.
