Light over Centennial/Parker, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving southbound on S. Chambers Rd. nearing Compark Blvd. (at the Centennial/Parker border) when a bright, solid-white light appeared out of nowhere at a very low altitude to the left of me in the pre-dawn darkness. It zipped south-eastward in the same trajectory as my car, veered northward and down before it just blinked out. It was much too low & fast for the distant flights ascending/descending out of DIA and much too fast for the smaller planes allowed in the immediate Centennial airspace. The light was more solidly encompassing, rather than just a twinkle on a plane or helicopter. My car was the only one on the road in all directions at 5am so there were no head- or tail-lights anywhere in the vicinity to have been reflected on my car windows or against anything external. I've never seen anything like this before until last month when my husband and I both were startled by a nearly identical occurrence. Two sightings of my own seems both noteable and worthy of reporting.

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.
