Circle over Washington twp, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We seen this bright light we thought it was a plane but planes don't sit still it was about 1:47 at night when we seen the light it sat there for about 5 to 7 seconds before completely disappearing we new it wasn't any thing like a plane because when a plane disappears it takes forever and you can still see it well this thing was gone so fast it was gone and there was no light to be seen like the light faded I live by Selfridge air bass about a couple miles from there and you see a lot of military air crafts and I lived down by the area for 15 years and what I seen is definitely not military this is not a fake report I never felt so scared in my life

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.
