Light over Lawrence (E of Indianaplis), IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A very big bright reddish orange sort of flickering light came from the South East and went straight across the sky diectly over-head. It was an unusually big light, unlike any type of light on an airplane or helicopter. It had only that one big light which stayed the same intensity and shape far in to the distant North West sky. It was below the clouds and made no noise. I am a 60 year old artist with 2 college degrees.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116136). 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.
