Circle over Ida, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I ran and grabbed my cellphone and started filming. My son came into the bathroom and saw it as well. We then ran outside to film. The moon was overhead and the object that was to the north was gone. Here is a link to the video I captured: https://youtu.be/6x0YqsvREY0
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144606). 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.
