Sommer Chase’s reports of lights above Gillette, Wyoming, received fresh attention in a 5 November 2026 interview with Cowboy State Daily. The newspaper describes videos showing three lights apparently rotating in a triangular arrangement.

Richard Beckwith, Wyoming director of the Mutual UFO Network, told the newspaper he could not currently explain the footage, while cautioning that a future explanation remained possible.

That is an investigator’s assessment of a witness submission. The reporting does not establish distance, physical speed or an extraterrestrial origin. Exact recording dates and independently verified original files were not available in the material reviewed.

Why this edition: Fresh reporting with named sources offers a useful discussion about what “unidentified” actually establishes. The report appeared on 5 November; the recording dates remain unverified.
