Flash over Sagola, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I have been witnessing strange lights or orbs (I’m honestly not sure) for over a year now. They are sometimes white, sometimes flashing different colors. They seem to stay in a generalized area for the most part but will bounce around. There are times that they move significantly. I’ve caught on film throughout this past year many things I cannot explain. I’ve shown people that don’t understand it either. In one picture you see a white ball looking object on the ground in front of the shed. I was outside on the porch smoking a cigarette when I looked and noticed something seeming to glow. I then took a video and showed the people whose house it was and they had no explanation of what it could be. We were on a dirt road with no neighbors anywhere near us so it wasn’t some ball from a neighbors yard or balloon or whatever. The videos are anywhere from last July- yesterday. I would love for someone to come witness this that can give me some sort of peace of mind about what I’m dealing with. There are many videos some hour or longer, in which case a couple times I have lost spurts of time. I have no recollection of those minutes that pass. I should note that I have never felt threatened or scared in their presence, just curious and almost hypnotized.

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.
