Other over Pine Valley, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son and I were taking pictures of the milky way in Pine valley. We had setup my camera on a tripod facing east and set it with a remote to take pictures while we waited in the car. As we waited I happened to glance up at the sky and noticed a line of orbs moving from west to east across the sky. There were at least 30 small balls of light maybe more all in a perfect line and moving in the same direction. There was a large group in the front and then a space with about 4 or 5 more behind them in the sky. In all the time I have been taking photographs at night, I have never seen anything like this. I am beyond bummed that I did not get a picture of it as my camera was pointing in the opposite direction. Space X satellites, being released from the Falcon 9 capsule. 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.
