Unknown over New Bloomington, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was facing a second story window in my home, when flashing lights appeared suddenly. The lights were blue and red, looking very similar to the top of a police car. The lights were close together and probably about a mile away. I couldn't make out a particular shape. I was waiting to hear something, sirens, a helicopter perhaps? I heard nothing. The object was hovering a few seconds, then began flawlessly falling down. It fell smoothly in a matter of seconds, and disappeared behind a tree line. I got up and looked out the window down at the tree line, and I saw nothing at all. No flashing lights, no noises either.

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.
