Triangle over Mentor Headlands, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband called me to the front door. I went and looked at what he wanted me to see. There was a triangular pulsating light in the sky that would move left to right. When it stood still, it dropped a flashing orb from it, it seemed from beneath. The triangular object slowly went from left to right, stood still and then vanished. It was far away but we could make out the shape along with the orb.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116286). 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.
