Other over Downer, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driveing east we watched a orange light hover very high over a group of radio antennass. So high, I thought it was the space station. Then it suddenly flew straigt represent us and directly over us. It flew in front of the moon and had five straight sides with a small light at each point, and a big glowing orange light on the bottom center. It was silent. Then took off fast to the north until it was out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116798). 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.
