Cigar over Springfield, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside and I saw no clouds. I thought that it was weird for the past few days so as I look to my right I saw it clear as day but no sound. That's when I call some one else to witness that what I saw was what I saw a long kind of round at the tips cigar shaped thing with a black band. I + one heard nothing it left no smock and waited a while later but no sound yeah don't know what it is but um I just don't know I'm looking up from now on. 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.
