Circle over Ponchatoula, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 22:00 CST ((sic. CDT)), a round yellowish white object moved very rapidly from WNW to ESE and disappeared below the eastern horizon. I was looking to the NE at the constellation Casseiopia and spotted it directly overhead. I am not sure of the size but it was at least 20-100 times larger than an aircraft traveling in roughly the opposite direction at the same time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121809). 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.

the object looked similar to a large plane,but it looked as though it had two cigar shaped bodies the length of the object. it moved at a slow rate of speed traveling north to south and then almost straight up and faded away.
