Cigar over Hollandale, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving down the road watching two aircraft flying together in formation turning and and looping around like they were practicing their turns. They were flying very low to the ground, like crop sprayers, but they had no wings, were silver like jet, no numbers or markings on them either and a kind of fin on the back of each one. There was no noise and I watched them for awhile and then one followed the other and they flew due east away from me. It was a clear sunny day and they were in plain view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119214). 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.
