Light over Casey, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was approaching my residence, driving up a hill to one of the highest points in the county, (minus the Grand Divide). I came up the hill and I saw a blue-white light that was flying at an insane rate of speed. Probably about 15,000' high. It flew west, and turned in an abrupt, yet smooth curve and continued southwest.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131714). 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.
