Other over Dacono, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
From Dacono CO. looking West, I would estimate over Erie CO. a string of perfectly spaced lights about the size and shape of the stars in the sky were traveling from West Southwest to Northwest. They appeared to be about 1/4 mile apart. They appeared to be at the altitude and speed of jet airliners. The lights would appear at the same location, travel through the sky for approximately 8-10 seconds each and then disappear at the same location. There were approximatly 6 - 8 lights at a all times in the string. I noticed this going on for about 5 minutes and then alerted a neighbor who witnessed the event for about 1 minute. At that point there were about 4 lights in the string. The entire time they were shining the same and moving the exact same speed.

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.
