Cigar over Plain Dealing, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
App. alt. 15,000ft - speed 500mph (best guess) - no sound, no wings - flight path north west by south east. Craft was complete light, a bright yellow that seemed to have a source from front and back that met in the middle. Slightly overcast with sun very low & setting so I don't believe the color was reflection. It looked to me to be self contained light & color. Length to width ratio seemed to hint it would not be a very fast craft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113750). 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.
