The report, as filed
My mom and I were out in her deck just sky watching and about 25 to 35 lights evenly spaced apart moving diagonally in a straight line together. Some lights were brighter than others, randomly fading in and out and then it just disappeared. It seemed really close, a lot closer than the stars. Then, after they were gone, random blinking lights in various parts of sky for about a minute after. It was similar looking to the starlink [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175914). 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.
