Oval over Labadieville, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on my front porch at 7:45 pm. This is the third time in two years I've seen this oval flying white object travel in front of our home at the height of a low flying plane. It traveled from north to south (heading toward the Gulf of Mexico). I ran to get my daughter and a cell phone to get a photo. It had gotten too far away by the time we ran outside. The cell phone camera didn't pick it up. Whenever I bring my actual camera outside with me, I never see a thing. I just don't think it is a plane or a helicopter. There is no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135112). 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.
