Oval over Three Oaks, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In our field of vision of the sky from our front porch, it took 60-75 seconds for this low flying,quite large orange object to cross the landscape. In seemed very low, moving unnaturally slow, and was completely quiet. At first,we believed it was some kind of firework debris that was on fire and floating across the sky, but it couldn't be. It looked a brightish, flame orange and was roughly circular, but it did not have clear, easily discernable edges. It appeared almost illusory... Like seriously bad special effect. All witnesses are in complete shock. Not sure how this web site works, it was revealed in google search, but if any other witnesses saw this, I would be interested in discussing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111158). 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.
