Changing over New Hartford, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked out my west 2nd story window around 9 PM and saw an object between the tree branches near my house. It was moving left and right and a little circular, and I thought that was odd. As I looked closer, it didn’t resemble an aircraft. It was very large, very bright and I called down to my husband. He was skeptical but not after he saw it. He ran right downstairs and didn’t answer when I called him back. I found him in the backyard staring up at it. It was fairly low on the sky and large. It looked kind of star shaped with red and occasionally blue or white lights I watched with him and ran back in to get my camera

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.
