Disk over Newbrighton, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
as it turned back to the west, this object, was about 20 to 30 ft in diameter, shiny silver and very very fast, when it turned back to the west i would estimate the speed at 3,000 mph or so almost like it disappeared , but still visible. I witnessed this object at the intersection of county road D and silver lake road, in the wallgreens parking lot, not sure if other people seen this object. this was a amazing event, that i still think about everyday, not a plane, not a helicopter, no noise came from this object, very shocking. i could see the actual size of this disk in its banking turn, very shocking. ther was also a red haze behind this object as it accelerated away from me. ((ADDENDUM FROM ALLEGED WITNESS)) i want to make a correction, about my sighting. 12/27/16 disk over silver lake road and county road d, in newbrighton mn , the disk did a banking u turn and headed back to the east, not to the west as stated, ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no 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.
