Light over Fitchburg, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my wife were traveling down Fitchrona Rd, just outside Fitchburg Wisconsin, when I looked out the car window and saw what appeared to be 20-30 stars lined up like oriens belt. It immediately struck me because they were all lined up together, and from the side window I was looking out of, it almost looked like a halo of stars around the earth. At the time, I couldn’t tell if they were moving, so I told my wife to pull over so I could get a better look, because I wanted to see if they were stationary. When I got out I could see that they were traveling from the west to the east. We were traveling north to south. I did shoot a video but is is rather difficult to make out without a big screen. When I watched the video some of the craft were a little out of line with one another, and I was looking for identifiers as I used to work on planes in the navy, but they were just bright glowing lights. I also have never seen such a large number of aircraft ! flying together like that. It reminded me of when you see all the military vehicles on the interstate driving together. Just one big line going to the same place.

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.
