Disk over Osyka, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took that exit at 1145 pm and arrived home shortly after 1 AM. I remember coming over a hill and seeing what I thought was a very large moon and very bright. I didn't remember anything at the time accept arriving home. I went straight to bed. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. 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.
