Cylinder over Moscow, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving down Gravens Road, the witness noticed the object hovering to his right as he was driving. He first thought it was a blimp. It was gray and white in color and then started to move left to right very quickly. He wished he could pull over to take a picture but there were no sides to the road. He lost sight of the object when a jet flew right next to it and then it quickly shifted to the left and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162025). 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.
