Light over Floristen, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving west bound outside of reno at approx.9:10 the object came from the south east of reno over highway 80 and went toward the west. the Object was so bright I was waiting for it to burn out. It stayed strong with its pattern and the speed was much faster then a air craft. what caught my eye is that this object never brock direction and never blinked to show other air travelers of flight path. Also,i could tell the other drivers on free way were seeing cause the truck in front of me almost didn't turn with Freeway and went into guardrail.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142093). 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.
