Unknown over Powell, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I look at the sky often, so noticed this out of place perfectly shaped triangle formed by three lights (looked like slightly brighter stars) in the Wyoming north sky about 9:30 pm on 1/16/2020. I could see a faint light going between each of the stars to even better form the triangle. Then I realized it was moving, very slowly to the west, maybe slightly south west. It stayed in a triangle shape, but the shape did change slightly as it moved across the sky, but always in a triangle. This made me think it was three separate objects. I told my daughter it was either military or a UFO. I watched it for 5 minutes or so. I went to get my husband to show him. By the time we got out there, we could no longer see it. My daughter was with me and also saw it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152663). 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.

Did not manage to count the number of lights, but multiple red flashing lights in a straight formation equal distance apart which stretched pretty far across the sky was seen by my girlfriend and I when driving home from Cody around 8:30pm. My best possible guess is some sort of flight convoy. Didn't hear any sounds. Definitely strange and unfamiliar.
