Flash over Hailey, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Watched a flying object hover over my home then a flash like a camera flash it was dull at first then flashed a bright flash. Went up straight then back down. Could hear a really high pitch from it and almost as if there was static in the air. Today my husband an I both have been suffering from a nasty migraine

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.

A bright yellowish, round light. Grew in size as it appeared to get closer and just disappeared.

I saw a string of lights in the sky that looked to be the same size and brightness as the stars. They were in a diagonal line, straight line perfectly spaced out. I went to get a person close by to come and see what I was seeing. As I looked back to the sky, the lights were leaving one by one and disappearing until none were left.

While visiting with my neighbor on the road next to our homes last night, we looked up into the evening sky (still light out and clear sky), and an orb of light appeared and traveled about 100 yards directly above our heads from south west to north east at a very slow and steady rate. It eventually burned out and disappeared with no trace. Like a very large, up close shooting star traveling slowly through the sky. Too low to be a satellite or airplane. Literally just above our heads. Took our breath away. There is known to be ufo activity in our canyon and perhaps we have now witnessed them up close and personal.

noticed one bright semi flashing lights high above the mtns on the north side of quigley canyon. After watching through binoculars and a spotting scope, I noticed at least four other shapes flashing the same red, blue and bright white. The closest one was the brightest, but through the Binos each one stood out. It was almost like a police helicopter but the strobing of lights was too quick and varying, sometimes it would really get bright. From a distance it looked like it had a pyramid shape of light around it. Moved some at the begining, but then seemed to stay in the same place. Too high up for a helicopter and also way over the middle of nowhere, also hovering in the same place for at least an hour. No sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
