Light over Flat Top Mountain, Cedar Valley, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving by Mt. Olympus on hgwy215 heading south. Noticed plains in the sky, then I noticed above the western mountain range near Mercur where the sun sets; a bright, bigger than plains, light that started small but flashed really bright then vanished, a sharp fine point reddish green line of light went from where the Object was and im assuming where it went which was North West over the Range. The line lasted 5seconds and the light from when I noticed it lasted a few seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151877). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
