Cigar over Jeffersonville, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A friend was driving me home from work from Frenchburg to Camargo on us 460. Coming through Jeffersonville, we noticed a low flying craft, with green and red lights, hovering maybe a few hundred feet above ground. No movement whatsoever, naturally thinking it may have been a helicopter we preceeded on, although neither of us had seen a chopper not flashing, or being still, and there was no noise from it. He proceeded to drop me off, and return the same way. He stopped on the way back to try to catch a picture, but the craft zigzagged somewhat and zoomed away. He said from stopping and looking he figured it to be a few hundred feet long and like a straightline.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121497). 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.
