Disk over Inkster, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was inside of my home and had a sudden urge to go outside. I stood up abruptly, and went outside and looked up at the sky. The sky was darkening, because the sun was just going down, and I could see a reddish-orange light on a moving black object. The light looked as if it were fire, so I assumed it was a lantern being released, but then the fiery light went away, and I was left seeing a disk shaped black object. It was close enough to where I could see the wobble in it, like a saucer that wobbled. No sound. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore, and went into a sharp direction change.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129211). 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.
