Cylinder over Mint Hill, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went to lock my car and I was heading back to the front door and saw it hoovering above the neighborhood. Red and Green lights and it was very quite as it made some quick moves left and right. I went and got my roommate and she saw it as well. I thought it may have been a drone but I don't think so it moved very quickly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118127). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

This day I was looking at clouds above me and saw something move through them. I shook my head and asked myself what did I just see. And saw it again. The only way I know to describe it is the object went under or through a cloud then there was a break in the cloud and I couldn't see it but it then went under or through another cloud and I could see it again. I wasn't like i saw much. Sort of like how the Predator is seen in the movie when all you see are reflections around him. There was a jet that left a stream that was in the same line of travel as this UFO (my invisible ufo) but it was about 10 seconds behind the object. And I'm not sure that they were the same distance in the air. After seeing this I started looking to see if a jet can disturb the air in front of it but have found nothing. I now always try to look in front of a jet to see if I see this again.

Disappeared in some storm clouds to the north and was gone. Approximately several thousand ft up and have no idea on approx speed. Again, definitely not a plane, bird, drone, or ballon...just solid black and maybe turning over several times before disappearing in a dark storm cloud.
