Oval over Cunningham, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving west bound on HWY U-400, Mile Marker 158 in Kansas early morning on 10/07/17 at 0505 when I saw a green cloudy oval size of a full moon come out of no where right in front of me in the sky. It was oddly strange to me that it popped up so quickly and vanished in less then a second. It was just a perfect timing that it popped up I happen just to be staring at that very location in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136609). 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.
