Cylinder over Walton, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It looked like it wasn't moving at first, but it was slowly moving southeasterly. It was way past a nearby chem-trail and very small I thought it might be the space station. It moved at about that pace. I did not think a person could see that far in the daytime hours. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133994). 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.
