Other over Mineral Point, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on my deck looking at the stars. I looked to the south east sky. Sitting rather low in the sky was a long thin glowing red object. It was not moving & as I watched, it bounced slightly upwards & telescoped in on itself forming a red dot which then pulsed once & disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127489). 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.
