Disk over Mantorville, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I've been sitting here watching this light out our living room window to the west. Didn't think anything of it until it didn't move. Just sat still. Been watching it now for the last 20 minutes and it's still there. At a closer look it has red and green flashing lights that seem to go around in a circle. It's not moving closer nor further away. After about 25 minutes it moved straight up but same distance away. After another 5 it just disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113358). 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.
