A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
So, we decided to look through binoculars and it appeared to be one very large craft possibly at least 1/4 of a mile long with several lights spaced evenly apart. The crazy thing is that it sounded like jet propulsion but very much more deeper than I've ever heard, like vibratory and also was very loud for at least 8 to 10 minutes after the craft was out of sight. This craft was flying east to west and fairly low altitude. About an hour before spotting this, I noticed some form of light ball that would get bright and then dim out several times while traveling pretty fast at about the same altitude and same flight path east to west. Witness provides no contact information. PD

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.
