Light over Sundance, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed bright blinking white light, size of a star with smaller faint flashing red & blue lights; no noise, zig-zaging upward diaginally in short, consistent broken (z) pattern, moving fast clearing a pathway through heavy cloud coverage; no stars or moon, only light in entire sky. Very odd sighting, not the actions of an airliner, although moved horizontally at times. Disappeared after watching it for approximately 15 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163777). 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.
