Light over New Harmony, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were walking in the early morning about 5:40 am while it was still dark. We saw two bright white lights high in the sky heading north following each other. Then another light appeared, and then more lights appeared one after the other. We looked to see where they may be coming from, and realized the lights materialized from the north side of the Milky Way. All bright white lights appeared to be the same size and brightness. After counting about 14 lights materialize from the west-northwest moving in a straight line following each other headed north we lost count because we could not figure out what we were seeing. The lights stayed in a straight line and moved farther away until we could not see them any longer. There was no sound. We were on a rural road, there are some houses spaced apart and it was dark around us. The sky was clear.

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.
