Light over Colburn, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I kept driving and kept a eye on it, it seemed not to move in any durection I kept telling her I thought it was a plain, though the light didn't flash or strobe. Another tiny light appeared right behind it still not moving. Then they suddenly started heading hard up and north at the same time, the light still bright but just smaller and gone in less than a second. I tried scanning the sky afterwards to see if I could find it , but now luck. The skies were mostly clear with a little bit of like semi translucent clouds, the sun was starting to set.

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.
