The report, as filed

What I Saw December 6, 2019, 1:15am Emigrant, Montana Just as I was getting a glass of water before bed, I glanced out my kitchen window and saw something completely baffling. I would not have called it a sighting because it was so startling. It was only after I related what I saw to my husband that I realized it was without doubt a UFO. My husband was extremely tired that evening and had gone to bed before me. So when I saw the sight, I didn’t wake him (and I’m kicking myself for not doing that) because he was so tired. I saw up on a hill near the back of our home a flaming dome. When I say flaming I mean this literally. It appeared to be burning. I could see the fires within it churning and burning. It was vidid. It had an aura. Oddly the aura appeared to be something artificial because it did not appear ethereal. It looked somehow like a designed aura. It was sort of like scallops with a black edge. But it was light. I was dumbfounded. I had an preconceived idea of what UFOs look like. This fit nothing I’d ever heard of. I decided to get a flashlight and go outside to see if lI could see it better. But it was early in the morning and we have wild animals out here and I decided it would not be wise to do this. By the time I got the flashlight and returned to the window, it had diminished. I would say I was away maybe 6 minutes. Then as I stood and watched, the dome simply gradually diminished in brightness and somewhat rapidly vanished (as if disappearing into the hill). It just collapsed right before my eyes. And it was just gone. When I told my husband about it the next morning, he said it was probably a UFO.

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.

Emigrant, MT

On May 15, 2021 at approximately 11:30 PM, my partner and I were sitting on a rooftop looking at the stars at a home outside Emigrant, Montana. There were no clouds and we could see the stars. At approximately 11:37 PM, we noticed an object coming across the sky from the southwestern sky (near Yellowstone National Park). The object was a straight line of attached lights and it was moving in our direction. The flying object looked to be made up of over 40 white lights and appeared to be about a mile long. As it came towards our direction, I took a photograph on my Iphone. The object appeared to stall as it moved closer and the lights could not be seen as well. It appeared to remain in this location, about 10-15 miles away from where we sat, for approximately 1-2 minutes. At this point, I called a family member because I was scared and then the object started to move again towards the northwestern portion of the sky. As the flying object started moving toward! s the northeastern sky, the lights were still visible at the bottom, but there also was a shadow that was not lit up that was visible. It appeared as if the object had multiple sides and not just the bottom lights. The object made no sound and there was no sound of nightlife at that moment. (There was an owl hooting before the object appeared and stopped during the event.) Prior to this event, my dog did not want to go outside to use the restroom and was anxious when we went out on the roof to look at the stars, which was not normal behavior for my dog.
