Unknown over Thorp (7 miles north of), WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object was 2-300 feet suspended above the road. The location was Shiner Drive & HWY 73. It was dark out. One end of the object was flat shaped with 2 red pulsating lights on each corner that would alternate. The opposite end had 1 dim headlight. It seemed to be the size of a semi-truck but I could not make out the shape because I was driving South on HWY 73 and it was pitch black out. At first I thought it looked like it could be a cell tower but the nearest tower is 7 miles away. I looked back when I got 1 mile down the road and it was still suspended in that same location.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144637). 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.
