Circle over Jerome, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Circular bright metallic silver craft. Bright white lights all around the outside perimeter. Symbols noticed on it's underside. Hovering over the sky. We've been watching it for 2 hours now on our telescope and have watched it move across the sky. To the naked eye it looks like a white circle. With the telescope you can see all the detail.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158340). 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.

I was leaving my home around early 4 am and spotting a slow moving but very obvious diagnol line, it was too slow to be any notable aircraft and was too faint to get a picture of, but it was a white potentially saucer like instance that i tried to trail for a moment only for it to dissapear once i cleared the other houses in my area.

I was looking up at the night sky when I observed what I thought was a satellite just under the moon moving North by Northeast. Then I observed a line of thirteen lights moving at the same speed, separated by the exact same distance between each moving light. I believe the light was the reflection of the sun off the moving objects and that they were in space and not in our atmosphere. There was no sound of jet engines and the thirteen crafts continued on until out of my eye sight. I am a commercial pilot, CFII with over 10K hrs of logged flight.

Coworker #1's account of the sighting: At 6AM coworker rushed into building from out side to inform me of strange lights in the sky. We then witnessed the lights traveling from west to east perfectly spaced at about 15 second intervals. The event lasted several minutes I tried to record it but they were a bit out of range for my phone (I saved the video just incase). The lights were moving at a high speed but perfectly silent. I spent 8yrs in the Marine Corps Air Wing and have never witnessed anything like it. I would like to add that I've always been a skeptic of UFO claims but this really has me shook.

At the time the cloud ceiling was 4800 AGL(Above Ground Level),we are at 4047 MSL(Mean Sea Level) there was plus ten miles visibility, no moon, no stars. I am a commercial pilot/flight instructor with 10,000 plus hours of flight time and I have never seen anti collision lights that bright and amber on any airships in all the time I've been aware of the night sky's along with airplanes flying at night.
