Light over Hagerman, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Super bright, orange light above the hills. Twinkled really brightly in the dark, hovered in the same spot, I pulled out my pocket universe to try to figure out if it was a planet and got nothing. Thought it could be Venus, but I went inside, texted my friend about it, went back outside and it was gone. I've never seen anything besides the moon so bright in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153266). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

The objects looked like small balls in a straight line. It appeared they were moving towards the ground in a row. There was six objects really bright white lights then they began to dim and each one went out and disappeared in order from rear to front. I observed them first then called my family out to see them. I am a veteran and served in the army field artillery and military police. The objects reminded me of flares from mortars but the location of them is not close to the military training area.

I bartend on the weekends, and I have driven this route many times before. My friend and I are going down the road, and suddenly this bright orb descends from the sky and starts hovering over the road. I pull over, and get out to observe. It's hovering, not making a sound, and it is bright and white. Round as far as I could tell. After a couple of minutes hovering brightly, it starts to flash. Eventually it dims, and we could see 4 distinct round lights on the side facing us. It would turn one light off, then back on, then two off, then back on, etc. for a couple of minutes before dimming everything and disappearing. This is my second UFO sighting here since I moved to this town 2 and a half years ago.
