Changing over Vernon, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving down highway 17 from Sulligent, Alabama to Vernon, Alabama, at 4 p.m. central time. I noticed there was a object in the sky flying along over the treetops. The object was a blinding white cigar shaped craft. It then changed shape to a fat line. There was a slight glow around the object as well. It was flying slowly along going in the opposite direction that we were driving in. Then it vanished. My daughter saw it also.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135773). 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.
