Circle over Russleville, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
What we see is a "star" type object in the western sky about midnight. Looking through a pair of binoculars, it is a spinning objest, that has maybe Three lights circling it. Red, green, blue. With the naked eye, you can see the color deviation. What is this? It did not reflect light, it created it. We suspect a twinkling star. PD

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.
