Light over Fairfield, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a row of perfectly straight lines headed in a north east direction. Went to grab my camera and a second row of perfectly straight lines were heading in a north west direction between 20 or 30 lights. Saw a bright light flash in between then vanished. I have a video but it's not very good as the light was really dim and my cell phone isn't that sensitive.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155776). 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.
