Circle over Belmont, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My boyfriend and I were driving over the bridge over the Rogue River on Jupiter Rd. heading South. He was talking as I watched what I thought was a meteorite, just as it got closer, it slowed (which I knew was not normal if it were a meteorite), so I pointed to him and said, "Look!" The light surrounding the item went out. I said, "What did you just see?" He responded, "A ball of light that went out. If you didn't point I would have not believed you when you told me about it." It would have hit the water, but we did not see or hear anything.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131546). 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.
