A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were getting ready to go to bed, and she was at the kitchen sink getting some water when she looked out the window and saw a very large object with extremely bright white light in the SE up above over our neighbors farm. We went and got the binoculars, I could see it was disk shaped and it had one large white light in the center and 2 or 3 smaller lights to the left & right next to the large middle light. There was also occasionally a very small faint white-blue flashing and faint reddish flashing lights too. It appeared to hovered and would very slowly move up and down and east and west several times. I watched it until 1am then went to bed. She watched it until 2am then went to bed with it still there in the sky.

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.
