Cylinder over Truckee/Cisco Grove, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a truck driver. I was on my way into california and I had just gone through the weigh and agriculture Check station a few minutes before i came around a bin on i-80 when I noticed what seem to be a cylindrical object just over the tree line. it had three lights on it that where dim. but they where brighter than any star and it was definitely in our atmosphere. I almost stoped my truck to see it longer but the sight and location of it scared me l seemed to be the only one on the road that morning. I kept going so I only Saw it for 45 seconds to a minute. It made no movement. It just hovered over the tree line. This report originally was posted with a flawed date. We have corrected the date above, and re-post the report. PD

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.
