Other over Lawrence, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a bright white teardrop shaped light moving from west to east at low cloud level; several clouds were in the sky but overall sunny. The light appeared to travel out of one cloud then separated or ejected a brilliant blue light that turned gold and disappeared as the white light continued to the east and vanished into another cloud. It all happened extremely quickly, 3-5 seconds approx. in duration.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142577). 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.
