Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168262). 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.

Translucent against the night sky. Best description is like the Predator movie creature ability to cloak. About 1 mile altitude, moving NW to SE. Had maybe 4 or 5 very dim lights within the ‘cloaked’ area. Could not make out shape, only where it was based on how it distorted the sky behind it. Silent, steady, even a smooth velocity. Visible from once it was first seen until out of visual range at 4 to 5 seconds.

After returning near my neighborhood (Emerald Springs) my daughter and I noticed a very bright orange and yellow glow moving very slowly towards the neighbor hood. It was very bright and visible. The oval shaped object was descending very slowly. The houses were in the way so we lost sight of the object for a couple of minutes. We decided to drive down county road 900 North and once again saw the object on the ground behind some trees and did it vanished.
