Other over Fillmore, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were coming home from a restaurant and saw a orange object traveling at a steady speed shaped like a five-pointed star. Altitude was less than one mile. The speed of the object was slightly faster than a typical private plane The car in front of us pulled over and took some pictures, so there were at least 2 other witnesses. There were no clouds, so it was not a projection from the ground. There were no other blinking lights as would normally be seen on an aircraft. It was quite distinctly star-shaped, which was drew our attention.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #109702). 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.
