Cylinder over McGehee, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my son were leaving to go deer hunting. Saw the red and blue lights on either end or side and thought it must be an airplane but soon realized it wasn't moving and that it wasnt a helicopter. Asked my son to get back out of truck to look and used my binoculars to look at it. Both of us noticed what appeared to be a reflective ball underneath that could not be seen with the naked eye. It was still in the same position when we left approximately 5 minutes later. I AM NOT A UFO PHANATIC; however, it must have had some purpose. Google Earth maybe?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115976). 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.
