Light over Council Grove, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving east on Highway 56 and saw a bright red and orange light fly in from the south, turn and hover in the sky in front my my car for about a minute, then instantly disappear. The light was slowly changing color as it moved between red and orange. I had music playing on a USB connection from my phone that started skipping songs as soon as the light appeared, until it started playing a song called 'Creep In A Shirt' from about halfway in, where he sings the word alien.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125428). 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.
