Changing over Reno/Stead, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a UFO (time approx. 3:05pm). Object spotted, saw through study window screen, caught my eye ascending.. guessing about 3-5 ft. across? (possibly 2 objects flying very closely together as it seemed to change shape). No lights, dark/black in color, about 500? ft away. Undulating up/down, erratic, moving at a steady rate first ascending then moving horizontally to the left. Not a plane, bird and it's odd movement ruled out balloons. Walked out onto my front porch to watch. Flew behind next door neighbors pine tree. Went into backyard to reacquire. No further visual.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122937). 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.
