Cylinder over Nashville, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first, believed it was a star but upon further investigation object was moving up and down and sideways, The light or object was not there prior to that time, We began fishing at 1800 hours on 6/1/17. It was very strange I felt like I was being observed, It was not a plane, It hovered behind trees for 2 hours, It went above the trees on side tree. I am really rather in shock. The animals were all riled up, Birds screeching, and all sorts of sounds coming from animals. Venus. PD

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.
