Diamond over West bend, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Noticed 5 cylindrical objects flying low and fast. Maybe 200 ft. up. 4 in a Dimond pattern with one more leading. Traveling north. Only visible from directly under. Low white, yellowish, brownish light from inside cylinders. Couldn't tell if all were connected or 5 separate vessels. Complete silence. Once it went over us and traveled a bit, seems the angle was right to see the light inside the cylinders anymore and seemingly dissappeared. Estimated speed 200 yd./6 sec. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132689). 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.
