Unknown over Waunakee, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Heading south on 12 from Springfield Corners towards Madison. Bright white light towards Madison. Slightly higher and left from nearby radio antenna. Similar to a star but 10x brighter and slightly larger. Hovered still until streaking fast to the right and dissapearing. I was watching and expecting the object to turn and see red and green lights being near the airport, however the only light was a very bright whitish/blue. The object also dissapeared far faster than any jet could.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132381). 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.
