Light over Monterey, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was observing the moon a nd jupiter when an object caught my attention. The object was a light that kept getting brighter as I focused on it. I thought perhaps it was a pulsing sattelite, but it did not move. The stationary light gradually faded over ten seconds time. It was located 12:00 east-west, and 1:30 south and reached the brightness of venus briefly. I am a 63 year old retired auto mechanic with no bad habits.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143093). 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.
