Chevron over Vadnais Heights, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving to work, heading south on Mc Menemy St. from Co. Rd. F. It was a clear day with a few small clouds that were to the far east. I had an open view of the vista ahead and to both sides. I had driven about a quarter mile, when I saw a bright flash in the sky slightly to the west. I did not see the object coming from any direction, it simply appeared, then disappeared, within seconds. I thought it was an airplane, as it looked like one. It had wings and the nose of object was facing east. It was a solid, bright platinum color. I slowed down to a crawl, expecting it to reappear to east, but it did not. I scanned the sky in all directions and saw nothing more.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121297). 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.
