Formation over Nampa, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After seeing an object quickly changing colors, I got my camera (Nikon Coolpix L320) and took some photos. As I zoomed in on the photos, I noticed it was not a singular object, but several. After watching them for approximately 20 minutes, I went to bed. I woke up two hours later, and they were still there.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167006). 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.

I am not sure how many objects I just witnessed, (I had to put a number in the box) because they were in a long stream moving rapidly across the sky between the clouds. They were moving very fast and went behind the cloud at a high rate of speed. I clicked on my sky app looking for starlink satellites because I thought this must be what I just saw, but from what I understand starlink satellites do not move extremely fast, nor are they blue, but there were no starlinks displaying on my screen moving in this direction. These were distinctly blue and we're moving rapidly, so rapidly it made me think of a weapon being fired that leaves a trail of light behind it. They were coming from the west and headed east and I caught them while I was glancing up to see a storm headed up from the southwest and there are some lightning flashes down there. And I could just barely see the moon behind the clouds due south of these objects. If they turn out to be starlink satellites I apologize but I can't imagine that they were. The gap in the clouds that I saw these through, was as wide as the space created when I hold my arm at full length toward the sky, and splay my fingers outward, from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my middle finger. They were very, very small points of bluish light, looking like nothing I've witnessed before.

Heard loud pops while driving, sounded like a water bottle expanding, but saw nothing. When large chip in windshield was seen a couple days later, reviewed dashcam video, and saw it had recorded 3 strange lights hovering over Nampa south of the freeway, then large object flash past and resulting windshield chip. Was too fast to see by eye. Have several stills showing object trajectory, not from the roadway, but from the sky. Believe damage to vehicle was from pieces of the object because of the trajectory, and likelihood of severe damage if it had directly impacted the vehicle. The object appears to be a very large 3-D triangle, and speed of several hundred miles per hour. Atmosphere around it seemed to be disturbed as an aura appears to surround it. Have the original recording available. I do not have computer access to the internet, but only an Android cellphone. Am not versed in computer use, have no idea how to transfer from my phone to a computer, and here at work it is only a workstation.

On Friday August 19, 2022, at approximately 10:45 pm in the Northwestern sky above Nampa, ID., my wife and I witnessed an ariel "white" light phenomenon. We estimated it to be around 7-8 thousand feet high. It consisted of a form similar to a white ribbon several miles wide and several miles long. We could recognize its approximate width and length but no other dimensions. It moved in a wave like pattern. The event lasted approximately 20 seconds. It was visible and then not visible, then became visible again, possibly due to high clouds obstructing our vision. It then simple faded away. The pattern of this phenomenon was unlike anything familiar in the night sky. No images were captured as the event was too short.

The first ufo was a bright white light that would speed across the sky and then sit still would go right to left up and down. The entire ufo was white light that seemed to shoot off the main middle section in one big crescent and several small crescent lights. The second ufo was seen 20 minutes later and was a bright white light on a circular shape. There was no interaction between the two and the second was close for a few minutes before suddenly speeding into smaller less visible light. The first ufo appeared within seconds after a big fireball explosion in the sky it looked as though a shooting star collided with another object and was gone within seconds of impact. The impact was close in view. After observing the first ufo for several minutes there was what appeared to be a small blast of light that hit the ufo as it was in one position in the sky without moving. When the light hit the ufo the ufo moved back for a moment and then flew back to the previous spot it had hovered. When I went inside the first ufo was still visible but the second was not. The observers were two females in early 30s late 20s driving home. They have had no sky watching experience's in the past. The objects were first seen in Nampa Idaho from the interstate 80 near garity Blvd exit and observed as the witnesses drove towards Boise Idaho. The last seen location was from Boise Idaho. Ufo 1 was seen closer to the moon coming from the direction of kuna Idaho and hovered mostly to the left of the moon. The explosion was seen from garity Blvd exit directly under the moon's position in sky. Ufo two came from opposite direction and left in the same direction towards direction of bogus basin mountain.
