Circle over Garden City, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went outside to get my plants. And I looked up in the sky and saw some kind of aerial object just hovering in the sky with numerous lights on it. The object may be circular but it was dark outside so I could not see. Jupiter and Venus

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.

Was leaving for work and happened to look up noticed a passenger jet flying approximately 40,000 ft above me and then noticed that there was a small white oval craft that seem to be following the passenger jet or stalking it. Second craft was probably below the passenger airline by another 10 to 15,000 ft. As you can see in the video, it seems to be mimicking the flight pattern but there is no com trail for the oval shape craft. I don't know if I was seeing a reflection of something else, but I thought you would want to take a look.

At 6:20 am on Wednesday February 17, I saw a string of lights moving through the sky above the clouds. The object contained about 50 discrete lights that move gracefully along almost right above me. At any given time, I could only see about 10 lights spaced equally part. The object or objects appeared to be part of a single string because they did not appear to move independently from each other. After about a minute I could not see the lights anymore either because they were obscured by clouds or because they moved beyond my range of vision. They did not simply turn off all of a sudden. Rather, they seemed to flow away from my vision to a point where I could no longer see them.

As we were driving into our apartment building near midnight on 1/31/2021 I looked up to see the stars. I immediately noticed a very bright light and asked my son if he could see it. I was driving and pulled over so we could both look. I observed at least 2 and possibly 3 of these lights. The objects seen by using the zoom of my camera were not recognizable as an aircraft or helicopter. The objects were not moving in any direction but occasionally would seem to move very quickly laterally and then return to the prior position. Sometimes it seemed like the object would get dim and then get bright again. We sat and watched them and decided to park in our stall and get out of the car. I got my camera and started to video one of the lights. It was spinning and changing colors and it appeared some type of discharge was coming from the object. I was able to video 2 of the objects. I then called my daughter who lives 30 miles away and she went outside and also can! see them. Also her husband and 3 children watched the objects as they hovered. I am a 60 year old retired church going woman raising my 16 year old son. I have my Bachelors degree in computer science and worked at Microsoft for 8 years. My daughter who also saw this is a former 911 operator for the local sheriffs office, and currently getting her Master's degree in criminal justice.

Just a few very bright lights just sitting in the sky it was so bright and it was wide I can't think of any airplane that just sits like that it didn't move at all at first I thought it was maybe just a really bright street light but it was too high up we kept looking at it and then it went to my left and the color changed and was several colors and then it was gone.
