Circle over Thompson springs, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving east on I 70, passing the exit yellow cat. Looking southeast above the mountain range. We saw a bright light traveling down. For a second we though it was a shooting star, but it kept falling, getting brighter. Than disappeared right above mountains, and then it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158007). 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.
