Circle over Davenport, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three bright white circular objects/lights moving close together from east to southwest. I watched for about 20 seconds, noticed they weren’t moving like jets, airplanes, satellites, meteors...they left no trails and remained bright white. Then, I saw the 4th bright white light quite a bit behind the others- still in the eastern sky heading the same direction as the other 3. I looked back at the 3 moments before they curved gently toward the northwestern sky. The 4th continued towards the area where the 3 changed direction. Pink clouds blocked the remainder of this curious event.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145198). 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.

Around 8p.m. 7 or 8 oval shaped ufo’s were flying around in different patterns, all flying at a fast speed. I used my telescope to look, and they were planes or drones.

I saw a see through object in a shape like a huge bird, but I couldn’t make out details as I was seeing mostly through it and not the actual object itself. It flew slowly but with enough speed to be gone in about 10 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
