Light over Camby/Indianapolis, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving into work, I saw 6 beams of light. I thought it was from the airport at first. But the beams were not only symmetrical, but also directly vertical, not at an angle (such as an airplane taking off and leaving a smoke trail) from the Earth. Then they all just slowly started to fade out from right to left. It was the strangest thing. The second I got to work, I told my boss about it and he dropped what he was doing and said, "I thought I was the only one to see that this morning..".
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125338). 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.
