Other over Mount Pleasant, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking West. Clear sky. Venus was approximately 40 degrees above the horizon. I observed a series of lights that were as bright as the back ground stars. They were traveling ENE evenly spaced. They appeared to be coming from the direction of Venus. None were visible below Venus. All were traveling in same direction as if on a string. All were the same magnitude. Two of the 10 were close to each other as if in formation. None had blinking lights. My spouse confirmed my sighting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154057). 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.
