Oval over Tell City, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three of us were star gazing into the night sky after seeing several shooting stars. While we were looking into the sky a solid black oval shaped object moved from west to east across the night sky. There were no lights. This object blocked out the light in the nights sky. This object was very large and moved at an extreme speed. The entire event lasted less than 10 seconds. Left all three of us speechless. There was no sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143108). 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.
