Disk over Jackpot, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took what I thought was a photo of myself lounging by the pool at Horseshu Hotel & Casino to capture my holiday. The photo was taken facing West. When I went to post it I noticed it was actually a short live video. In one split second/frame of the video a large craft appears. It just shows itself like a blip. Black and angular - looks like some sort of craft and appears to be larger than than the two story water tower in the background. I was by myself when it happened and when I showed it to the hotel staff it was all they could talk about. Almost looks like a plume of something is coming out from below - silver on top with a shadowy dark bottom. Made no sound when it appeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151801). 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.
