Unknown over Cochiti Lake, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As soon as it gets dark, I see many lights in the sky which rotate thru a color sequence: white, red, green. They move as if someone is learning how to pilot the craft. They are too far up for my naked eye to make out a shape and I don’t have the glass to see any better. They are still there when I go to bed at midnight. This has been occurring every night for weeks. Possibly "twinkling" stars?? PD

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.
