Circle over Gordonsville, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was driving down our road towards my house, it's a very dark road, something to my left caught my eye. When I looked, I saw a very brightly glowing, neon green circle of light (my son said it sounds like a meteor) falling from the sky, falling towards the ground. There are untouched acres of hills surrounding the area with lots of trees. It looked as if it fell into the trees. There was no sound at all, no spark of light as it may have hit the ground, NOTHING. It just disappeared as it fell towards the ground.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131093). 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.
