Cylinder over Rexburg, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Incredibly large. It was super high in the sky which made it appear small but the fact we could see it at all indicated it was a massive craft. It was a very clear sunny day and the sky was very blue. The craft was located right beside the sun which made it difficult to spot but if you moved to the right angle to look up you could see it. It was also transparent. Only would it appear if you looked at it from an angle where the suns light reflected off of it enough to distinguish it was a large cylinder. My two friends and I dropped what we were doing that day and followed it for over an hour. It followed the suns position in the sky, always keeping in the same spot relative to the sun. It was unexplainable for any human technology that I am aware of.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161882). 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.
