Chevron over St Croix, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving on I-64 West in Indiana about 50 miles west from Louisville, Kentucky, at 1:00 am in our motorhome. Saw seven lighted objects, very bright, about 1500 feet elevation (rough estimate) and about 1.5 miles apart, except for the last one was about 5 miles from the others. The line of them roughly corresponded to the interstate but some were slightly on the left of it and some on the right as the highway curved back and forth, they may have been in a straight line. We passed almost directly below two of them and I could see the lights best when they were closest. There were multiple small colored flashing lights along a front and rear edge that was shaped a bit like a boomerang except there were no lights on what would have been the ends of the boomerang. Colors were hues of mostly red, blue, and white. From further away only the brightest white lights were noticeable, kind of a cluster.. None of them seemed to move. When I slid open the passenger! side window I could not hear anything louder than our motorhome and the wind as we passed them. One of them was above and a little left of a cell tower and based on that, if the cell tower was 200 feet it look like the craft was about 1500 feet - very low for an airplane, too high for a tower, and much, much brighter than the stars were. My wife was driving, and she saw these craft, as well as my 12 year old son and myself.

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.
