Cigar over South Jordon, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was outside and heard a strange low, deep hum that was pulsating like a refrigerator but much deeper. I could not identify the sound, but I looked up and out in the distance it was traveling from the west to the east and moved extremely slow. I saw a large cigar-shaped craft with 7 lights in a row with smaller less bright lights alternating to the row above. Possibly the 60 Space X satellites. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146262). 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.
