Oval over Mt. Pleasant, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving north on Mt. Pleasant Rd, I noted a large number of contrails, specifically one that appeared to be vertical. As I drove further north, I attempted to take a picture of the contrail, but wasn't successful. Appearing to the east of the road was an oval, silver craft, hovering. It appeared to have a glass dome on top of it. It was reflecting the pink sunrise on the body of the craft. It hovered in place for several minutes. It disappeared without noise or contrail.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130976). 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.
