Cylinder over Ferrum, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I spotted what I first thought to be a star at 7pm, but when I looked through my scope, I seen a circular disk moving NW TO SE direction for 40 minutes with objects coming from the large disk underneath & from the rear then approximately around 7:45pm the large object broken up into approximately 40-50 objects going into different directions before the clouds blocked my view..
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134650). 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.
