Light over Gaylord, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was deer hunting and was standing outside the camper gazing up at the sky. The stars were amazing out in the country. As I observed I noticed one light/star moving. I thought well that must be an airplane but the light did not blink then I noticed at a little ways back a second light moving exactly as fast and in the same direction as the first, then a third, a forth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, an eighth, a ninth, and a tenth. The string of lights was all the same brightness, size, and moving as if on a string from the south west to the north east. It covered a vast area from my view they stretched out over half the sky.

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.
