Triangle over Nevada, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Triangular object floated smoothly and silently over my backyard. It came from the North and kept going South. It looked like a V-Formation that birds fly in. Except the "birds" in this case I believe were actually lights. There were 3 on one side and 4 on the other and they were not super bright, in fact they were barely a lighter shade of illuminated gray than the night sky it self. The "lights" were kind of frosty/blurry looking. More a brighter shade of gray than yellow or white or red. They were not flashing. This thing floated effortlessly, and reminded me of how paper would be if it were floating, just really light and smooth.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160689). 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.
