Light over Sturgeon lake, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw light in sky thought it was a star or plane. Then watched it for a while and it started zipping around the sky going to the left and right and up and down stopping suddenly. Started zig zagging and started getting dimmer and brighter. Then little amber lights like fire flys would briefly appear and go away in a second and happen every few minutes. Then started moving away and then vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153740). 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.
