Oval over denver, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
for apprx 1 month i go out to my backyard to observe with the naked eye, with celestron astro binocs, & a spotting scope small star like, star sized objects that will remain stationary in the sky all through out the night. they are brighter than the nearby stars and their ‘shimmering’ brilliance is more intense & their colors cycle through the rainbow. i need distance correction specs so when viewed without them i can easily discern them from true stars as they’ve a more ‘sparkly’ type of halo. as mentioned i’ve viewed them with binocs & a spotting scope that reveals they hover just above the cloud deck when present, and are a vertically oriented oval central ring light with an undulating outer halo of brilliant changing colors, that are accompanied by ‘spears’ of light i attribute to their sheer vivid output. no sound and i never see them move but they do get about…just not when under observation apparently.

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.
