Other over Beaver Dam (north of), WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving along Hwy 151 just north of Beaver Dam WI, there was a large orange ball that stood still. We know it was standing still due to the fact that we were driving past it and we had to keep looking back at it. The large orange ball had this translucent light that was orbiting it at first which is what caught our attention. Then the smaller laser like ball shot off to the right. This light started sporadically appearing above and below the bright orange ball. The orange ball stayed in the same spot as we drove away from it. It seemed like the smaller laser like light seemed like the orange balls scout.

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.
