A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I did not see the objects appear; I turned and they were in midair doing their thing. Three orangeish lights in a roughly triangular pattern, but the triangle was rotating and shifting as they generally rose up in the air. I had my camera out already, shooting moonlight photos of the terrain, so I immediately began recording a video. There was no noise from them. The light appeared to flicker sightly and slowly fade, though s I don't know how far they may have been I can't say this wasn't atmospheric distortion. After about two minutes, the lights were dim enough that my camera could no longer pick them up, though I could still see them myself. A few minutes later, a lone light was visible in the same area of sky, exhibiting the same characteristics. I shot a long exposure photo of this object for context.

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.
