Cigar over Hyde Park, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in my garage when I noticed a shiny object slowly flying in a south southwesterly direction. There were no lights on the object. While observing the object it VANISHED for about 30 seconds to a minute. Then the object reappeared, and seemed to hover for another minute then VANISHED again. I tried to observe the area for about 10 more minutes but it did not re-appear
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141639). 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.
