Light over Tonopah, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three maybe four large amber lights that slowly faded in and faded out. Did it twice. Each time lasting about four or five seconds. The lights were right next to each other but were separate.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151165). 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.
