Unknown over Oak Creek area, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We let our dogs outside and even though we have a fenced backyard, we for numerous reasons, always go outside with them. We couldn't help but notice the large, orange, glowing light in the sky. It was moving extremely slow (moving South/heading North) and although it was probably higher, it appeared to be off the ground at just above cottonwood tree height. As this object continued to move the orange light reduced down to (for its size ratio) a pinpoint and then its light seemed to disappear. What was also interesting about this strange, flying object, was its dark, massive size which became more apparent with the reduction of its orange light. And, there was no sound emanating from the object. This flying object certainly gave us pause and caused us to question what kind of aircraft it could possibly be. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
