Formation over Pine city, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Not starlink. A solo, slow moving, star like object starts moving across the sky. It leaves a faint bluish trail behind it, also stationary star like objects spaced closer together at the start of trail and spaced farther apart towards the end. The only thing that moved was whatever the bright object was that created the trail. Its length was about 3 moons wide. It looked like a straight line of a finished connect the dots picture, due to the faint bluish light that connected each stationary object. I’m not sure if each 8 to 10 objects were a single object or separate because all objects disappeared at the same exact time. Completely different from how they had initially appeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178294). 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.
