Light over Algoma, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I’m an avid star watcher, and tonight I witnessed something I’ve never seen before. What I saw looked exactly like what you would see when a satellite flys overhead, except this time there were 6 of them all moving on the exact same path very close to each other moving from west to east. They were all moving at a constant speed going about the same speed as satellites. These could very well be satellites, except I’ve never known satellites to travel this close together and all moving in the exact same direction. I tried to take a video of it, but my camera on my phone wouldn’t pick up the lights on the sky. The event lasted around 45 seconds before the lights started to fade below the horizon line.

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.

Algoma, WI
Saw an orange light slowly moving from the sky towards the ground in a straight line to the west of Algoma, WI. I viewed the light through a pair of binoculars and it looked like a fireball. After ten minutes it disappeared beyond the horizon line. When I entered my house there was a static charge when I turned on the light switch. This could be coincidental, but does not usually happen.
