Cylinder over Millersburg, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were outside on our porch and saw a round object hovering above a cell phone tower within view. This is the second sighting that we have had of similar objects within a 2 week span. This object had red, orange and blue lights flashing in sequence all around it, hovered in one place and the lights would go dim enough to appear invisible. We went outside to view better, and approximately 5 minutes later, the object appeared to flash and shoot upwards, and it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142558). 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.
