Cigar over Oneonta, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was silver in colour and streaked across the sky with lots of smoke and crashed. Before it crashed it stopped mid-air and then went down and crashed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147002). 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.

Couldn't sleep, walked outside to smoke cigarette and while I was messing around on my phone I was getting ready to put it up so I lock the screen but it was still really bright outside so I look straight up and it's like five maybe six really bright lights rotating in a circle going in a straight line across the sky. I brush it off as maybe some kind of new us unmaned drone but it was so close to the ground and dead silent.. I haven't stopped thinking about it
