Triangle over Coeur d' Alene, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Out on back deck looking at Mars and the Moon. Sitting there 5 min. I see something to my left coming from the North at high speed, just zipped right over our house and was gone. At first I thought a commercial drone but no navigation lights and ZERO sound. ZERO sound. A Triangle with rounded corners, gun metal gray or black, undercarriage large white circles near each corner but not illuminated. The white circles looked like a dome bathroom light that wasn't lit. Size, I am unsure of due to lack of depth perception at night. If it was 100 ft up it would have been 2ft across, if 500 ft. would probably have been the size of a large Uhaul truck, 1000 ft. an 18 wheeler truck/trailer. I immediately came back into the house as it gave me the hibbies.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172976). 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.
