Light over niwot, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
saw ~10 lights in the sky, evenly spaced in a line, fading in and out like i've seen before. some would get brighter, others would dim and it would repeat. eventually they all faded out after 1 minute of watching. hard to say if it was multiple crafts or part of 1. what made this especially weird is they were not moving, from what i could see, about 5 miles away? and they were perfectly diagonal in the sky. been looking for news on what it could potentially be but nothing yet. i've had similar encounters and they behaved the same. my footage is shit but it was completely black out and i'm shooting maybe 5 miles away.

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.
