Oval over Armada, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Just finished mowing lawn and was about 7:30pm EST, not quite dark but dusk. Was looking at drones as it was clear out and could see some stars starting to appear. Was talking with buddy, checking out for drones as it was near Armada Center Rd and North Ave in Armada. Turned to south and freaked out. Saw symmetrical disc-shaped object, grey/charcoal surface not sure. About 1-3 miles away, couldn't tell. Low altitude just hovering. Then bright light appeared from rear of vehicle and it took off in a straight path eastward. Whole event lasted about 5 seconds then gone. Amazing, will never forget it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136380). 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.
