Cylinder over Bastrop, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This cylinder was flying so fast it was over the horizon in less than 10 seconds. I have never seen anything fly this fast as it ascended and gained altitude. I presume it had landed and was taking off. There were no propellors, rotors, wings, or jet pods. Although the sighting was only seconds long, I got a good look at it, and another man in a white suv was staring with his mouth open in apparent near shock. This is what I saw, and I'm going back out tonight and observe the area again which is cow and horse pasture land. This is all for now. Date not indicated by the source, but we believe he is addressing the dramatic event of July 12, 2014. We have amended the date. PD

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 outside on my porch at approximately 11:40 pm in a north west direction I saw what looked like a plane at first. I watched for well over 10 minutes the object move left, right, up and down. The object never moved quickly, more bobbed about slowly. As stated I watched for a good amount of time and pointed it out to my wife. The object continued in a north west direction and eventually got behind trees I could not see clearly through.
