Unknown over Elkhart Lake, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a very bright, unmoving white light in the night sky. It was far too bright to be a star. About two minutes of appearing stagnant, it started moving at a decent speed to the west. However, when moving, it was a constant green light with a flashing white light unlike common airplanes that have white with flashing red. It went out of view not too long afterwards, and the shape of it was hard to tell. Date may be flawed. Witness may have intended to indicate a date of June 4th, not May 4th, but we have no means of contacting the anonymous source, give that he/she elects to remain totally anonymous. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134434). 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.
