Flash over Seeley Lake, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
More wierd lights in the sky. Very bright white light flash. No flash for 10 or 15 seconds, then flash but after 4 or 5 flashes, it does not appear to be flying in a straight line more like left right down... then nothing. Very weird. This was not an airplane flying in a straight line. The flashes were VERY white and bright.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148448). 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.
