Light over Clearfield, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My boyfriend and I went out to the back patio to get fresh air and we were both looking up at the stars when I noticed what appeared to be lights that were moving across the sky. I thought it was a plane at first but the white lights I saw started doing independent maneuvers from each other so it couldn't be a plane. It looked like they were dancing together across the sky in kind of a snake-like configuration. I asked my boyfriend if he was seeing what I was seeing but by that time the lights had been obscured by neighboring trees.

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 was on my way to school and saw one flashing green light fly down the wasatch front mountains. It was flying fast and was gone in 2 or 3 seconds. A second one followed shortly after; travelling just as quickly. I looked over towards Antelope Island, and saw one craft hovering, same flashing, light green, maybe blue light.
