Unknown over Wendell, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed from Wendell High school parking lot in the eastern sky at the 10 o'clock position distant object making erratic turns at unknown speeds. Not a fixed wing or rotor aircraft as there were no lights normally found on man made aircraft; only white light visible. Clear sky in the vicinity of the aircraft - stars and moon visible and stationary. Aircraft would move from left to right, then up and down - sometimes in quick succession. Aircraft moved out of range (no longer visible) after approx. 10 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150899). 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.
