Light over Evansville/Madison, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking North East from the right angle formed where N Weary Rd meets West Weary Road a light could be seen traveling roughly South West to North East. Its position was just East of the big dipper (approximate). Suddenly the light stopped moving and maintained it's position in the sky until it accelerated in seemingly random directions, zig zagging towards the horizon. The light was solid and appeared to be around the elevation that a plane would fly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114707). 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.
