The report, as filed
This morning, April 29, 2019, in Caldwell, Idaho, I was sitting outside, waiting for the pugs to take care of business. It was about 5:15-5:20am. I looked up in the sky and over to the south, I see 2 moving objects. I don't mean moving as in flying by. They were moving back and forth, side to side, up and down. It looked like they were playing. I called my husband to come see this. He watched for a few moments and said he had no idea, but he had never seen anything move like these objects move. They darted around one would move right then the other, sometimes they would be really close to each other and then one would move to the right so fast it made my eyes blur. I tried to get video and pictures, but it was so dark they didn't come out very well. I will say that the short video I tried to get of these 2 moving things did not show them, but showed two small flashing lights hovering all around them. I did not see these two small lights as I watched the objects move back and forth. I saw the lights only when I videoed the objects. The sun was starting to come up by 6am and they were still the the same area, still moving around but staying pretty much together. I left for work and looked for them in the sky but they were not there. I would have loved to see how they left. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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 saw 7 reflective figures in the sky I chalked it up to Maybe they were parachuters they were 6 or 77 then as I watched a bit more I noticed that the reflective lights lights and maybe not even reflective at all Paul we're not behaving like parachuters They were not bowling nor were they gliding they were moving Across the sky In a horizontal directionTowards the moon towards Boise IdahoAs I watch the lights still talking it up to parachuters and maybe the sun was catching the parachutes I watched the lights Change formation to what look like a consolationIs state in that position for At least 5 minutesAnd then slowly the lights on the right disappeared and then the ones on the left I wanted to make the known to my neighbor who didn't hear me but who didn't hear me and honestly I didn't try too hard cause I didn't want to sound like a crazy person but those were not planes and I watched for a while and they were not parachuters there was nothing left there was nothing left there after the lights went out they were 6 or 7 and they formed a constellation and stayed there in the sky in that position and then disappeared. I'm so upset I was the only one so far to see that

At 06:27 on 18 Feb 2021 as I was getting in my vehicle to go to work. When I saw a Column of 15-20 object moving at a high rate of speed Moving to the south East from over my head to the horizon. The objects looked like satellites in the sky and how they were moving it looked like it was not in out atmosphere yet. As soon as I saw it my hairs on my body jumped up and each one faded like a light going out in a cascading order in or about the same spot.

Out back on my patio, my wife and i saw a very large orange orb floating through the sky. Got video and picture if it. It came up slowly, and continued into the atmosphere until the light was too dim to see. I watch the stars nightly, see planes, helicopters, shooting stars. Im able to recognize planets, stars, and constellations in our night sky. This was most definitely not a man made light. It was quite visibly something we have ever seen before. This is the 3rd time ive witnessed unusual activity in our area of the sky.

A light that looked like any of the other stars in the sky moved erratically. It went in uneven circles directly overhead. Because of its jerky, erratic movements, I suspect it was a human-controlled drone, but why would it emit light like a star?

At approximately 7:00 pm, Mountain Standard Time, my brother, sister-in-law, husband and myself had stepped out on our back porch to chat a bit. It was a clear night for viewing the stars. My brother was looking to the north from our backyard and stated "what is that?" We all then proceeded to look north and noticed one circlular shaped object moving very steady and slowly. The object was engulfed in a steady white light. We reasoned that it was approximately 5,000 feet high and approximately 5 to 10 miles away. As we were observing the object we tried to reason that it was a traditional aircraft but my husband and brother (who had both served in the Airforce) knew it was not. The light continued to glow steadily with no blinking at all. Furthermore, it seemed to be gliding in a steady way, making no turns whatsoever. We continued to watch this object fly from the west to the east (towards Boise, Idaho), for approximately 2 minutes and then it just disappeared. It was there, and then it was not. It seemed to just fade out in front of our eyes. Also, approximately 5-10 seconds later, after the object disappeared, we noticed an airplane with blinking lights headed in the direction we had last seen this craft. Unlike the white glowing object, we knew the second craft was a tradional airplane as the lights were blinking. Not sure exactly what this object was but we all believe that it was not a traditional airplane. It was quite an experience to see this object.

I set up an IPHONE 6 on a picnic table setting camera to time lapse mode facing east as eclipse had already started got video of before and after shadow came over us. After that happened I sent the video to my friend who has cancer to show him what the eclipse looked like here, moments later he sent me back a screen shot of something in the sky in my video and he asked me is that an UFO joking about it. So I went to my time lapse video and looked it over and found that some object is in the video that had flown over us so fast we did not see or hear it and you can see it was going the same speed as the eclipse shadow speed was also going. The video shows that the camera was lucky to catch the UFO on time lapse that split second. When I froze the frame, it looks like a cloud in the shape of an arrow; when I zoomed in, there is like vapor all around something dark in the middle of the vapor. I have posted to YOU TUBE under UFO cloud during eclipse in western Idaho. Give it a look please. I know the speed of the eclipse shadow was 2400 mph the same for the UFO.
