Cylinder over Riverdale, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While standing outside smoking, my neighbors came to me and pointed out this object that was bright like an airplane's headlights, but it wasn't moving. We noticed planes flying close by it, but this light didn't move or make a noise. We tried to record it with our phones, and it all of a sudden disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131658). 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.

For the past 4 days, I've seen this bright light in the sky and it's stationary for a few minutes and then it's gone. It's not far from the airport and planes fly by it every night.
