Oval over Amissville/Rixeyville, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Not a UFO but rather strange light appearing and disappearing in the night sky. Light was deep medium blue, oval shaped, and covered a large area. Was very bright, lasting only a few seconds. Came out of nowhere, and disappeared as fast as it appeared. Upon coming home family there reported a power surge which increased then decreased rapidly. Knocked satellite TV reception offline.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119010). 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.
