Cylinder over West Jefferson, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
From the east (near Us Rt 40) notice a bright light in the distance moving west. I had a FlightAware app on my phone and there was not any commercial aircraft in my area. The light came closer to the ground and a white cylinder appeared in sky. It was traveling west with no emissions. It was traveling too fast to be a balloon. My first thought it was the ISS, but it was over South America at the time I seen the object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137489). 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.
