Light over Detroit lakes, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a line of lights initially that was super heavy about 20. They were brightly flashing at international intervals in a distinct pattern. Then there were more spaced out craft that followed in the distinctly exact same line continuing the flashing pattern. Satellites. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146286). 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.
