Unknown over Isabella, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
was out camping...around 3 in the morning my son woke me up because he saw strange lights outside our tent...there was a strange object about the size of a car 25 yards into the woods and 20 yards above ground...this object was glowing but did not have a significant shape to it...the scary part was that this object was omitting a light beam up and around the woods each time lighting up the trees casting shadows.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121746). 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.
