Unknown over Sun Valley, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night, I was letting my dog out to go potty around 4-4:30am in Sun Valley, Idaho (Elkhorn area). I looked up at the stars which was great because there was no smoke - I could see the stars! I thought I saw a satellite and then I saw a second one right behind it in perfect alignment and then a third, a fourth and I counted at least 12 of them (maybe more) - all in a perfect line moving at the same pace. If I could measure from my vantage point and use my fingers they were about an 1.5 inches apart. I couldn't hear them, but they looked like a satellite (but moving too fast for a satellite), were in perfect formation and so many of them! It was CRAZY town!!! I wish I had my phone to record it, but it was in the middle of the night and I was letting my dog go to the bathroom and from now on, I'll always bring my phone with me - trust me!!

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.
