Cigar over Downtown Nashville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The date may have been 9/10/2016. It was around 1930. Driving by downtown Nashville on I-24 (we went in both directions) my sister was taking pictures of the city during sunset. I drove by it a few times so she could get some good shots. We looked at the pics later and saw the bright white lit, cigar shaped UFOs (about 4) hovering in the pictures, also looked as if there was a trail of some sort like they were moving upward. We still have the pictures that I emailed in. You can see them over the Korean Veteran's bridge as well as the AT&T Building. Can't explain what else they would be. We zoomed in to make sense of it. The windows were down and she didn't take the pics with a flash so we know it wasn't a reflection of anything. None of this was seen with the naked eye. Someone can get back to me if they wish to. I'll mark it that they can if they have any questions. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

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.
