Cylinder over Mytle Beach, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Then we walk back to our hotel and my husband and I sit on our balcony, when we saw it again, but this time got it on camera, and it disappeared once, then quickly we saw it again. Not sure what exactly it was, but it definitely looked like a UFO. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128580). 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.
