Other over Northfield, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It had a very bright white light in the center that appeared to be perfectly round. It looked rectangular with lights on each end that seemed duller than the center, but also bright. I really can't say what color the end lights were because the center light was so dominant. Because I couldn't identify it, I thought maybe it was a drone. I've never really seen a drone in person but I was trying to make some kind of identification. After 15 minutes of following the craft, I decided that I needed to get home. But as I started to head home, I noticed another car stopped in the middle of the street. I thought oh gosh, it's the cops and they must have seen me driving crazy trying to follow this thing but it wasn't. I assumed it was someone else who was watching this low flying craft that was barely moving. I took two pics out of my car window. Best I could get. I'm surprised that all u captured were lights that looked farther away than they were. I won't speculate as to what it was because I really don't know. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

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.
