Circle over Silver Lake, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving East on the 212 in MN we spotted a large object in the sky with 12 white lights evenly spaced around the parameter of the object. I estimate it had to be at least 1 mile in Diameter and 20 miles away. I estimate it was over Silver Lake but I could be wrong.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137897). 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.
