Other over Mount Gilead, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked into the sky tonight, because I saw a flashing light and what I saw amazed me. I saw what looked like a jetpack of some sort, shooting across the sky and then slow and stop and hover. Then I looked around the sky and there were a few more, sitting in certain area. They were lit up in red, white, and green lights. They sat there as if they were waiting for something to happen. Others move around from place to place, and then just stop. Not sure what's going on up there tonight but it has me curious. I saw one shoot out what looked like a fireball, not sure what it was firing at.

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.
