Light over Rockwood, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving down highway R heading west my friend and I saw a bright white light with a tint of green go across the sky at a very high rate of speed. We thought it was an airplane crashing towards Two Rivers, WI, but saw nothing after it disappeared above the treeline. ??? Some people said they saw shooting stars that night, but this didn't have a trail, and was going way too fast.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116659). 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.
