Light over Fort Jennings, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw an orange light approaching from the South, traveling North for approximately 3 miles. It was not a helicopter or a plane. I lost sight of it as it passed directly over my car. It was approximately 1,000 feet in the air, and maybe 10 to 20 feet wide. There were no wings. The shape was somewhat like an upright cylinder with half a semi-circle on either side.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114140). 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.
