Light over Altamont, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Easter night 2023. Witnessed what I originally thought was a meteor. It streaked in from the south and was slightly dimmer than the surrounding stars. It was predominantly white, but had a slight green tint. It then very rapidly moved northward, abruptly stopped, then moved in a large arc and then northward again until leaving my field of view. Also it was a clear night and there was no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175676). 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.
