Light over Shoshoni, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
They were moving in an evenly spaced line from the south going NE. I had my boyfriend come out to see and bring the binoculars. We watched the line go on for at least 10 minutes and there were at least 50 of them. Occasionally there would be 2 side by side or one "passing" another. There were no other aircraft over is at the time according to flight tracker app.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155352). 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.
