Cylinder over Newport, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Silver cylinder moving east west as fast as a satellite without any sound, wings or tail....looked like a shiny pipe.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. 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.

I was walking along the sidewalk heading west as something caught my attention to the right. There was an object about 200 feet high traveling east to west. I stopped and stared at it, the object was a ball or circle of green light with no sound. As I stood there it flew horizontally for 5-10 seconds then disappeared in open sky.
