Circle over Torrey, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
From the time one of us took notice and alerted the others, we watched for about 3-5 minutes in the northern sky, moving east to west across until out of sight headed NW about level with the North Star. No moon in the sky. A cluster of an estimated 100+ circular, bright bluish white lights with about 20-30 trailing slightly behind the main cluster or formation. First looked like a glittery ribbon until watching and noticing none were fading out but were moving independently of each other. Looked similar to balloons but appeared much farther away and fast moving while changing direction and speed, like fish in a school. Space X satellites, being released from the Falcon 9 capsule. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146328). 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.
