Light over Whitmore Lake, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking to my bus stop, when a flash of light caught the corner of my eye. I suddenly looked over to see a bright light take a nose dive tword the lake that was near me. I did not see the object hit the lake becaues my vision was blocked by a house. My freind who was at the bus stop had a better view of it. He said before it hit the lake it took a sudden right angle turn and zoomed across the lake and over the tree line out of sight. It was going faster than any object I've ever seen and the kind of turn my friend described would kill some one with the g-force.

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.
