Light over Blanca, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
For 45 minutes or so light after light would appear above mt Blanca and descend on it or disappear into the top of my Blanca. After 20 minutes they started to be at a higher altitude and moving west from my Blanca to la Venta pass. At one point two lights passed another and changed direction.... Could be an extreme ball lightning event. The lights came at random intervals. Good luck

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.
