Light over Hinckley, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In the sky we noticed the bright planet to the east and another very bright orange light just staying in a low position but lined up with the planet. This orange light was in the south west side of the sky. I got out to film it and noticed it staying in one spot then as I tried to focus my camera it would not focus it started to move pretty fast then the lights started to rotate mimicking blinking. As it moved over my truck and kids there was no sound and it looked like a shape of a boat (looking up at a boat with a point tip) all Three dimensional It moved fast towards the north. As we are driving east we see the bright planet and now see the same lights comping back towards that planet it did a complete circle . 4 other lights red colored align to make a square. They then fade away.

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.
