Light over Winterset, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I ran downstairs to my daughters. Very scared. There was just a couple, it looked like tentacles of light going between crafts. Quick and abrupt moving. My daughter then noticed about 30 minutes later out the window on other side of house the sky was full and moving, lights were bouncing off the clouds. It's now slowed down but I felt instant fear at first, I wasn't afraid to watch them now. I have been before at this same location. Her husband and brother in law seen it as well as my granddaughter.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135365). 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.
