Light over Tigerton, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My 15 yr old daughter first saw this and asked me what I thought it was. It was brighter and higher than a normal plane would fly and moving incredibly fast. It was moving northeast and the strangest thing is that it would pause, like it was slowing down but from a very fast pace to a crawl for about 3 seconds and then resume a fast pace again. It would "pause" sporadically and did so about 5 times. It seemed to be gaining altitude and we watched it until it traveled out of our sight. We are in the country and there were no lights hindering our vision of the sky. Tonight was a very clear night and I have never seen anything like this before. If anyone else saw this please report, especially if you have knowledge as to what this was.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #109936). 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.
