Cigar over Chubbuck, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we were driving, I noticed a bright object hovering above a mountain. It wasn’t moving and it was very bright. After telling some people about it, I found out the same object was photographed in Soda Springs two days earlier. We compared photos, and they seem to be the same thing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179048). 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.

Watch through binoculars and rifle scope. Looked like a stack of three lights that changed colors.

Five bright lights in formation moving extremely fast on horizon. All moved together and changed direction once then faded out of sight.
