Cigar over Novelty, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After a power outage, I went in the back of our house to see if other homes were affected. We have a large field with power lines. Immedialty after the power went out, I saw a large blimp like object hovering a little near the top of the power lines, moving slowly, and making no sounds. The front of the object had a light, the back end appeared to be dark. It slowly moved down the path of the power line. I followed it for about 5 min. I went in my house to get my husband, when we went back out it was gone and the power came back on.

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.
