Circle over Sheboygan, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I let my dog out and from my back deck I saw a rather large object traveling northwest in the sky. It looked like it fell from the sky - like dropping a ball from your hand to the ground. This was very much like a meteor sighting but the object was much larger and could be seen clearly (the sky was very clear - no clouds). The object looked whitish blue in color. There was a full moon to the southeast that was very clear. You could see the object clearly but the object itself looked kind of faded or blurred (I am not sure if that was because of the sharpness of the moonlight). A comet is often very small when you see it. This object was much larger and was the same size or a little smaller than the full moon. I look up in the sky quite frequently, often times listening to Coast to Coast or other similar shows, but I have never seen an object like this (this large). The sighting itself was less than a couple of seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

My husband and I were driving back home on I43 near the exit for 23 when my husband got my attention to an object that was a sphere and silver and shiny, had to be of decent size in the sky. After a minute 1 round light turned on that was white in color, for a few seconds we lost site of the image and when we seen it the sphere was entirely black and going behind a cloud until it was gone. Was moving slowly, then would hover for a few seconds. It just vanished. Watched for it on 23 and seen nothing more.

I visited Kohler Andres State Park to watch the waves during a gale warning. I snapped a bunch of pictures of the waves on my iPhone and later on, when I was reviewing the pictures, I noticed the black triangle UFO above the waves. I did not see or notice it with my own eyes; it was only on the photo. I was the only person on the beach at the time. High winds from the west was shearing off the tops of the waves. As for background, I’m not a photographer, but I am a trained storm spotter. I have a bachelor of science in English and a Masters of Public Administration. I had taken a vacation day to enjoy the fall colors and see the big waves.
