Circle over Swan Valley, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It lasted only several seconds. It was a light circle falling from the sky like a meteor, but with no tail. And it fell straight from the sky! It was dark out so. It sort of looked like the moon was falling. I only saw it. So I took my dad outside and there was no fire or more lights just that.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111963). 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.
