Circle over Lewistown, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
4 ships appeared, then equally separated. Next a larger object appeared and they all disappeared quickly. I was out smoking and watched this over the Judith Mountains. Never seen this in 50 years. I found this site to see if anything was reported. I was going to call some agency but didn't want a bunch of nuts running around our place.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154673). 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.

Just before sunrise, my husband was routinely sitting in the hot tub and saw a stream of what appeared to be low-flying satellites. They were all appropriately spaced, flying at the same speed, in the same trajectory and made no sound. He was quite surprised as he is out there daily and had never seen this type of thing before. He called me out to see it and we counted 30 of them before the sunlight impacted our ability to see them any longer.
