Disk over Washington, DC, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a bubble trail going against the current. As I watched the bubble trail which came from Washington DC it passed directly under me and continued a couple hundred meters past the bridge and a small disc very cleanly left the water and dissapeared over Ft. Foot. It was maybe 10feet in diameter.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177509). 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.
