Light over Cleveland, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving south along I-43, saw bright green light descending toward earth. Appeared to be a firework at first, but it traveled pretty quick downwards at a 45 degree angle, light vanished, but appeared to be something in the sky after the light was gone. Was no more than couple hundred feet in the air. Was not a firework because fireworks blow up, create multiple lights, and do not travel at a 45 degree angle. They travel in an arc and eventually die out. This had the same brightness throughout till the light vanished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124329). 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.
