Light over Rockwood, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I visually witnessed 2 bright white lights in stack formation traveling the same speed. They slowed and stopped in unison. They remained at this position for 2 hours. They were white and dimming down to a small amber and then returning to a bright white much larger. There were no other colors. I reported this to the Rockwood Police at 7:22 PM. I saw a neighbor and showed him. We viewed them for 15 minutes. I went back to my house and viewed them in the Sam position for 1 1/2 hours in this held position. They began to defend slowly stopping at points in unison. This went on for 45 minutes until they went out of sight. Photo consistent with Venus and Jupiter's position that night

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.
