Cigar over Central City, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Cylindrical, cigar-shaped, silver or white craft flying at a very high altitude, making it look approximately 1/2 inch long, at a very high rate of speed. It came into our view of the horizon, far above the treeline, from the left, or North East and took about 2 to 3 minutes to travel the entire length of our visual horizon, eventually leaving our sight in the far right, or South West. It made no audible sound and had no visible wings or other features. This was seen in the bright daylight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120438). 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.
