Light over Ottawa, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I live in east central Kansas, at approximately 6:00 I was observing a cloudless sky just before sunrise, admiring the big dipper and I saw a row of lights. I counted 15 at least. perfectly spaced, traveling In a northeastern direction at what must have been a height altitude, no sound and all had matched speeds except for one that’s was offset Slightly from the rest moving faster. I hope more people report.

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.
