Light over Town of Green Lake, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 8:55 PM on 22 August, 2022, we observed a line of lighted objects traveling ESE from the east most star of Ursa Major at about 80 degrees above the horizon. The objects traveled in a straight line and were evenly spaced along the entire line. The direction of sight was blocked and we could not see how far the formation traveled in the east south easterly direction. It is uncanny that the time of this sighting was at the same time as the sighting last night. This sighting spread across a much longer portion of the sky. Last night the objects were in a tighter formation, 2 or 3 abreast. We will be watching the night sky tonight 23 Aug. to see if they reappear. Again the objects omitted no detectable noise. Matches description of Starlink satellites.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171342). 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.
