Circle over Kline, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw bright object flying beside commercial aircraft and pass it very quickly. It seemed to stop in the clouds. About 45 mins later a military chinook helicopter seemed to be investing the area. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139368). 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.
