Unknown over Lower Haines City, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The moon was to its left as the dot flew North, right over Watkins Rd, where the back of my home is. We are due east of Winter Haven and Dundee, along route 17 N.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128578). 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.
