Light over Superior, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from my boyfriend's house which is about a 10 minute drive. About a minute into my drive home, 3 very bright lights come flying over the top of my car and soar through the sky, but were very high up and looked very far away. The 3 lights then aligned horizontal in the sky, still moving. The middle light and far right light had a white glow to them, while the far left light had a yellow/orange tint to it. Suddenly, the 3 lights separated and the far left light, soared all the way to the left and disappeared. At this point I don’t see any of the 3 lights. I then am stopped at a stop sign on a kind of main road in my town, but there were no other cars or anyone else around this time of night. As I’m stopped at the stop sign, all the street lights that line the streets go out as if they all lost power. They were out for maybe 30 seconds. I have never seen this happen in my town before. I start driving again and then appear the 2 white glowing ! lights again in the sky. I drive a few more blocks and I just happen to look to my left, and floating in the sky at the end of the road to my left, is the glowing yellow/orange light from before. I keep driving and the 2 white lights are still in the sky. I then need to take a left turn to get home & a car coming the direction towards me on the other side of the road had its headlights & brights on and were so bright I shut my eyes. When I opened my eyes to make my turn, the lights were gone.

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.

First object was square and vivid red with red bars. Second was rectangular light object. Third was tubular with orange yellow light. Forth was orange string. Strange blue light in video of house. Watched all four light objects move from east to north northwest in about 5 to 6 min. each. With a 1 to 4 min. Gap between sightings. Dark moonless night with clear skies and no wind, calm and quiet night. All lights were high in sky and very bright. Never seen anything like this before in my 67 years. Much larger than a star, planet or airplane or satellite or anything else. Have 2 brief videos. Took screenshots of the interesting things on videos. These were not conventional craft or lights in any means. All of them followed the same flight path. No sounds, car alarms went off. Hard to get a video or picture, could not see my screen. Moved my phone in up down left right motion and captured two very interesting short videos. My wife saw the same things I saw. The whole shapes were all lit up. Like flying neon tubes. Changing shapes at times. The background was dark sky at a high angle and a few stars. The things were suddenly there. One after another. Very strange to say the least. I have never seen or reported anything like this my whole life. The whole duration was 25 to 35 min. long.

I was driving over the the Belknap viaduct and looked off to the north towards Duluth and saw a bright light near what locals call the antenna farm and saw a bright light. As I continued over the bridge the light started heading east towards Lake Superior at a high rate of speed before it disappeared.

On this date and time my children and I seen a green light in the southern sky at a 35 degree angle from our visual , than it stoped for a few seconds . Than this light did a two movement from right to left and stoped again . These stops and movement's were sharp in angle and in split seconds . Than this green light moved to the east and stoped again . This move took a split second again and it remained there for 12 more minutes . This green speck of a light turned a brilliant dark red and my daughter had the binoculars on it . Than it moved left to right while red and shot off outward and was gone . I told this to my mail man on July 13 2021 and today the fourteenth he told me reports from others made the radio news today . I cannot find a logical cause or reason to explain this away and my children and I are very concerned .

My husband came inside and drew on paper a zig zagged z like form and told me a light was going in those directions. I went outside with him. We were looking up and we say two moving lit up objects, they were going opposite directions. One seemed like it was jumping forward and then disappeared after about 5 forward jumps. The other going the opposite direction went on for a while longer then disappeared. We watched outside in our back yard for another 20 minutes. Nothing. Then we went to our front yard and went on to see 4 more lit objects all going in different directions spaced out about 5-7 minutes apart. 2 of them went a short distance before completely disappearing into thin air.

Saw a green glowing object streaking through the sky in a way that a shooting star would, or a meteor, or something crashing. It was green almost lime glowing circular shape with the same color trailing behind it as if it was on fire. That is why I gave the example of a shooting star or meteor. It was further up North as falling through the sky towards Duluth MN
