Circle over Warren/Howland, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were sitting in our back yard, just before dusk. Some bright fiery light caught my eye in the sky to the east. I watched this object move very slowly move from east to west. It was hovering just below the clouds. It was a very odd cylinder shape and extremely bright orange lights or fiery flames. As the flames died down, the object moved to a northern direction. It hovered high in the sky for approximately 3 or 4 minutes and then it slowly moved straight up, vertically, out of our view with no lights. The whole event was truly shocking, and lasted about 7-10 minutes. The object would have been approximately over Route 11 north.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111452). 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.
