Light over Indianola/Canadian (between), OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We looked through a pair of binoculars (5x30 Bushnell) and it appeared there were colored lights around the objects. As we started to check the lights out a general aviation plane flew between our position and the lights and it appeared to be at about 5,000 (I'm a student pilot). He could have seen them. Then cloud cover came in and it was hard to tell if they were dimming or not. Then clouds covered them up. We ended trying to see more. With no movement like that I suppose they may have been two stars, but they seemed far to bright for that and I've never seen stars in that position with that level of brilliance ever before.

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.
