Light over St Paul, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At around 8:45 I noticed a stream of lights moving across the sky. The quality of light was similar to stars, albeit closer, and they moved with a speed and purpose that differentiated them from passing planes. A span of several seconds would elapse before a new one emerged from the western sky. Every 16 or so, a light would appear to the side but otherwise they were in perfect order. Perhaps Starlink, but the lights were much more separated than google searches show the satellites to be.

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.
