Light over Eldora, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a green light that lit up al around us. It made a pop sound, kind of like lightning but different. My friend looked up right after that and saw a very large green ring. She claimed it was the size of a baseball diamond. I looked up about 20 seconds later and saw a ring higher up and about the size of a penny. I heard two more pops but no lights or rings were seen. A strange sighting of something unknown was later seen by me. It seemed to be kind of like a strange dog but larger. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information.

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.

Three friends and I were walking at about 9:50. Not long after that, the area around us was lit up by a green ring. This green ring/light only lasted only 2 seconds. After the green light, I looked up and saw a huge green ring,.. Only higher up and smaller. .when we saw the there was loud pop, almost like lightning. .I didn't have any more experiences, but the same friend friend who saw the small ring heard more pops and saw some strange creature as she was walking home.
