Teardrop over Lake Elmo, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At dusk, a friend and I noticed an unnaturally bright looking over Lake Elmo. It was a light amber in color. It was silently hovering in place for about 30 seconds. Then the bright light went out, and multiple dim ones appeared. The outline of the craft could now be seen, and it was fairly large, given the distance it was from us. The craft then zipped silently across until out of sight. There is no possibility it was a plane or helicopter.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153549). 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.
