Light over North Fairfield, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After doing late night chores and coming back up to the house, we noticed a brilliant ball of light about the size of a helicopter going across the tops of our woods. This light was heading north along SR 61. There was no sound or flashing lights from it. It progressed out across the field then shot up into a cloud and disappeared. The dogs noticed, as they were barking as it was coming down across the tree tops. Could not see anything other than the blinding white light that was produced.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111873). 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.
